What makes Private Tour Dendera Temple From Hurghada a unique experience ?
Commence your journey from your Hurghada hotel at 6:00 Or 7:00 am, embarking on a 3-hour drive to explore the Temple of Hathor in Dendera, dedicated to the goddess of love and music.
Arrive at Dendera where an Egyptologist tour guide will accompany you throughout the visit. The Temple of Hathor was predominantly constructed during the Late Ptolemaic period under the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. Subsequent additions were made during the Roman period. Despite being built by rulers of non-native Egyptian descent, the temple’s design adheres to classical Egyptian temple architecture.
Noteworthy features include a hypostyle hall with a front entrance constructed by Emperor Tiberius. The temple complex also depicts scenes of Ptolemaic rulers, such as a monumental relief of Cleopatra VII and her son Ptolemy XV (Caesarion) in Egyptian attire, making offerings.
Hathor, associated with love and healing, is reflected in the presence of a sanatorium within the temple complex. Pilgrims sought healing by bathing in sacred water, receiving unguent from Hathor’s priests, and hoping for divine guidance through dreams in provided sleeping quarters.
Following the temple visit, enjoy a lunch break in Qena City before embarking on the return journey to Hurghada. The entire excursion lasts approximately 4 hours, allowing you to delve into the rich history and spiritual significance of the Temple of Hathor.
