What you'll see and do
Dendera Temple of Hathor
The Denderah Temple was built in the 1st century B.C by Ptolemy VIII and Queen Cleopatra II, and is one of the best-preserved Temples in all of Egypt. The temple is dedicated to Hathor, Goddess and mother of the Pharaohs, representing maternity, love, music and the celestial. The Goddess is mostly represented, with the horns of the sacred cow supporting the solar disc of the sun. In her hands she holds an "Ankh" (the symbol of life), and a scepter. You can visit the crypt, a great spot, for those who are not claustrophobic. 2 staircases lead to the roof, beautifully decorated with symbols of the 12 months of the year. In one of the rooftop chapels, you will find (a copy of) the famous Denderah Zodiac (the original rests in the Louvre in Paris). The temple has been recently restored and cleaned and will give you a feeling of walking through ancient history.

Abydos
The Great Temple of Seti I, which, after a certain amount of restoration work, is one of the most complete, unique and beautiful temples in Egypt, with delicate decorations and a very special atmosphere. This great limestone structure, unusually L-shaped, had seven great doorways and was dedicated to the six major gods – Osiris, Isis, Horus, Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty and Ptah – and to Seti I (1294–1279 BC) himself. By the death of his father, Ramses II finished the temple. Most famous feature of the temple is the Gallery of the Kings, carved with the figures of Seti I, his son Ramses II, and a long list of the pharaohs who preceded them.

Full day tour
We have used EgBride several times for the transfer from Hurghada to Luxor (return) and have always found them to be reliable, with helpful and punctual drivers - and will continue to use them for this. However while in Luxor we decided to do this tour - again the driver was very punctual, and the English speaking guide was very knowledgable and informative - had a very enjoyable day
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Warm greetings from the EgBride Travel Team and thank you for letting us arrange your private trip to Abydos. It was a pleasure to be of service and we thank you for your kind words of appreciation towards our dedicated Team and services. We thank you for sharing your experience we hope are ready to arrange your next adventure. With thanks, EgBride Travel Team

Wonderful Day Trip from Luxor
We organized this tour only the night before because we weren't sure what to do with our last day in Egypt, but it was no problem. There was no pressure or upselling. Everything was very up front and went smoothly the next morning. The travel agent in our hotel, Hassan was wonderful and walked us through all our options before deciding on this tour. He also went above and beyond to be friendly and help us during our stay, even going so far as to walk us back to the hotel when we ran into each other in town one evening. We were initially hesitant to go somewhere such a long drive away but it was worth it to see these amazing temples away from the crowds of Luxor and Giza. Dendera Temple especially was one of the most amazing temples we saw during our trip. Our guide Hadir was lovely and pointed out all the important carvings to us as we toured the temples, told us the stories behind the images and most importantly stopped several times for snacks and refreshments on the long drive! Along the way we drove through many smaller towns and a bustling local Souq; it was a nice treat to see a part of Egypt outside of the usual tourist trail. All together a very nice day out and would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Warm greetings from the EgBride Travel Team and thank you for your warm words of appreciation. We thank you for letting us fill in your last day in Luxor and opting for a wonderful day trip to Denderah and Abydos. It was a pleasure to be of service and we are delighted that our dedicated Team exceeded your expectations. We thank you for sharing your experience and recommendation and hope to see you again soon to arrange your next adventure. With thanks, EgBride Travel Team

Great day trip
Great day trip. We had a great day trip to the temples a bit further away from Luxor. Even the ride to the temples was interesting in a clean and comfortable minibus. Mohamed the guide knew everything about the temples and explained what they were for. I loved the roof of denderra most and the osiris tomb in abydos. Thanks Mohamed for a great day.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Firstly let us thank you for asking the Blue Heaven Travel Team to arrange the Denderah and Abydos day trip for you. We are delighted to know that Mr Mohamed contributed to a memorable day and you enjoyed the temples and the explanations. We thank you for sharing your experience and we are looking forward to arrange your next adventure. With thanks, Blue Heaven Travel Team

Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I?
+
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 Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private From Luxor/Aswan/Hurgha To Dendera/Abydos Hathor & Seti I 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.
