Excellent tour of the Dendara Temple with Michael
Stratosboy,Dec 30, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Michael took as on a private tour of the Dendara Temple. What an amazing place! It's by far the best preserved temple we have seen. There is still paint on the ceilings and still on many of the wall carvings and to think it's all over 2000 years old. We paid extra 100Egp for the Crypt and also for the roof. Both were well worth it. There are carvings on the crypt wall that look like the Nikola Tesla light bulb! The whole complex is massive and surrounded by a large mud brick wall. The temple itself is stone. And clearly has Egyptian, Greek and Roman parts. Michael got permission to explore a Nileometer shaft and the sunken area with the "secret" tunnels (Nileometer again?). Michael pointed out the different carvings from all 3 major periods of it's development. We explored virtually the whole structure but due to its size we could not see everything as there were so many rooms to see, all covered in carvings.

5.00This was a wonderful day tour and responsive reliable company to spend the day with. Two absolutely stunning and significant temples - it is a must do if you are in Luxor. Michael was a wealth of knowledge and wonderful thoughtful company who had us laughing the whole day. He took care of everything for us, got us local treats to try (sugar cane juice, the freshest fruit and tomatoes), and even showed us magic tricks to pass the long drive(still don't know how he did that). We had a lovely day. Highly recommend this company and guide.
