Dendera Temple of Hathor
Our driver picks you up from your accommodation in Luxor and drive in about 1 hour to Qena where Dendera temples is located. Enjoy a 2 hour visit to Dendera, the entire Dendera complex covers about 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a large, enclosed wall of mud. The main building in the complex is the Temple of Hathor. The existing structure began construction in the late Ptolemaic period at the time of Ptolemy Auletes in July 54 BCE and the colonnaded hall was built in Roman times under Tiberius. Depictions of Cleopatra VI appearing on temple walls are prime examples of Ptolemaic Egyptian art. And there are vivid scenes in which the Roman Emperor Trajan pays tribute to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor. From Qena it's about a 1 hour drive back to Luxor

Love love love Luxor
I had the best time taking a private guide and driver around the major temples. As a solo female traveller i was really looked after by the staff. Nothing was to much trouble and Yassin was trustworthy and I always felt safe. I took the guide to Valley of the Kings, Tombs of the Nobles and Medinet Habu. A visit to Karnak temple was indescribable! After a brilliant tour I booked dendara with Far and Beyond and Traditional Felucca sailing on the Nile.

Amazing tour guide with in-depth knowledge. Safe, reliable trustworthy, Far and Beyond travel.
I was collected at 8 am by the same driver who took me on another tour which made me feel safe and I liked that the company had considered careful continuity. I was accompanied by Hamdy, a very knowledgeable, patient and insightful guide who never tired of my constant questions! The drive along the Nile canals in the local province was beautiful , it was harvest season. It was suggested we stop for the best local felafel sandwich and it was the best felafel of my life! Prior to entering The Temple of Hathor, Hamdy gave a full explanation of the site, what to look out for that is special to that Temple. He gave me the options for the ‘extra’ the crypts and advised me on how to handle others who like to ad hoc guide and take tips. This info was invaluable a s a solo traveler. Handy stayed close but was aware enough to give me my own space to explore. The temple is an absolute must see. It is so unique with the colour and brings together in context through history and heirogylpic rendering its unique place in the historic timeline of the ancient Egypt. Not only that, a Temple dedicated to the daughter of Ra, the goddess Hathor, you know you will get a spectacular visual experience. The astrological replica is a little disappointing but the glyphs in the crypt are fascinating. The hypostyle hall and the colouring on the ceilings is just simply unsurpassed by any other temple. The preservation is amazing, in structure and colour. I was very well taken care of throughout the entire tour. Highly recommended.

Nice experience
分かりやすかったです。 10 years old 。デンデラまでは40分ほどです。 朝早くに出発することをおすすめします。 The explanation was in English, but it was easy to understand because it was spoken slowly. The rich colors of the reliefs on the ceiling and walls, which took 10 years to remove, were very impressive. It takes about 40 minutes to reach Dendera. We recommend leaving early in the morning.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Dendera temple from Luxor 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.
