Perfect days in Luxor
TLDR: Ra is great. Hire him. He can customize your needs and treats you like family. You won’t regret him. I had Ra as my tour guide two different days and he was one of the best decsions I made in Egypt. Treats you as part of the family. Speaks clear easy to understand English, and German which I only can guess is excellent. The first day we went to Abydos and Dendra. Then saw three tombs in the Valley of the Kings, and gave me a tour of the Luxor museum. An ambitious day and Ra was happy to indulge my high travel stamina. Can’t recommend Abydos highly enough. It’s one of Ra’s favorites too. The quality of the reliefs, surviving color, unique characteristics of 7 holy of the holies, and unique significance in times for its holy nature makes unique. Dendra is amazing too. Ra was busy the next day so arranged for me a friend of his who is also an excellent tour guide. The next day Ra took me to Karnak, Luxor, a perfume factory, the site of the worker tombs, and the valley of the nobles. The nobles and workers are a special treat and the site where he literally grew up in the shadow of giving him such deep knowledge. He also then got me to the airport that evening. Again, Ra is great I really promise. Read these glowing after glowing reviews.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! Abydos and Dendera are truly special places, and I’m very happy you enjoyed exploring them. It was also a pleasure arranging everything smoothly for you when I was busy the next day — I’m glad you enjoyed the tour with my colleague as well. Sharing Karnak, Luxor Temple, the workers’ village, and the nobles’ tombs with you was a great experience, especially since those sites are very close to my heart. I’m happy you felt the depth of knowledge and the passion I have for my home. Thank you again for your kind words and trust. I truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back in Egypt for more discoveries! Warm regards, Ra

Late, Unsafe, and Overpriced – The Real Curse of Ra
If ancient Egypt had offered tours like this, tourism would’ve died with the pharaohs. We booked for 10:00. The guide — who goes by the name “Ra” (unfortunately not a god, just a man with no concept of time) — showed up one hour late without apology. To “make up for it,” he rushed us through the day and suggested we eat lunch inside a moving van. Four people crammed into a dusty vehicle, juggling styrofoam containers while dodging potholes and prayers. The food? Local, yes. Edible, barely. And charged at double the fair price — 60€ for a meal that wouldn’t cost more than 30€ anywhere else in Egypt. Not to mention, it tasted like it had been blessed by neglect. The van itself was a mechanical relic. Small, uncomfortable, and clearly not roadworthy. The driver sped like he was fleeing the afterlife — going 120km/h in 50 zones, overtaking on blind curves, and even driving the wrong way at times. I’ve felt safer on camel rides. Due to the initial delay, we barely had time to visit the temples properly. The guide kept rushing us from one stone to the next like it was a TikTok tour. And just when we thought it couldn’t get worse, the return to the hotel took 2.5 hours instead of the advertised 1h20. In short: unsafe, unprofessional, and totally disappointing. Not even the gods would forgive this tour. Avoid at all costs — unless your idea of an adventure includes danger, overpricing, and historical sites turned into a blur of stress.
Response from the operator: fear Mr.&Mrs. thank you for inform us and we a apologize once more for the delay a gain . about the meals ,they told you it would cost you 15 euro per persons and you agree . about the return back the police insist to take that way and we have to flows they order for your safety. we apologize again and again for the delay ,so please forgive us . we wish all luck and goods in your life. ra

For those who want to go...
For those who want to go a little off the beaten track and experience some truly unique and remarkable sites you won’t see on other tours, this is one to book! Our tour guide Ra has a PhD in Hieroglyphics and gave us a crash course on how to read the rich stories presented in the temples of Dandara and Abydos. Both of these temple complexes are staggering in their complexity, beauty, and size but Ra did a fantastic job in keeping us on track and aware of the significance and history of everything around us. In addition to his deep knowledge of Egyptology, Ra is also an excellent photographer - helping us to capture wonderful photos to remember our day at this sites. With Hassan as your driver and Ra as your guide, this is definitely a tour to book! PS: make sure to spend some time at Abydos at behind the temple to see the Osireion, a site full of megalithic mysteries.
Response from the operator: thank you very much for your kindly support and I am very glad to hear that you like the tour and you enjoyed it, I also enjoyed your company too. ,I am looking foreword to see you again ,take care of yourself your Ra

You're in good hands with Ra
I can only agree with all the positive reviews here. Ra was our guide to Abydos and Dendara which we were able to cover in one day. He has an immense knowledge which he shared with us and as one reviewer said, takes great photos for you. And if you speak German, Ra speaks German too! Thank you from Fran & Blanka!
Response from the operator: dear Fran & Blanka, thank you very much for your lovely words ,I would like to tell you I enjoyed your company too. thanks once for your kindly supports,looking foreword to see you a gain. take care of yourself your Ra your

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full day Dendera and Abydos temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full day Dendera and Abydos temple cost?
+
Prices start at €50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day Dendera and Abydos temple take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Full day Dendera and Abydos temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day Dendera and Abydos temple?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full day Dendera and Abydos temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day Dendera and Abydos temple?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day Dendera and Abydos temple start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
