Is it safe to drive to Abydos?

Yes. The road runs through the villages of the Qena governorate and has been open to tourist cars without convoy since 2016.

Are the entry tickets included?

Yes. Every site named in the itinerary is included in the price. Optional extras are listed under "Not included" (for example entry inside the Great Pyramid or the tomb of Seti I) and are paid on the spot in Egyptian pounds or by card at the ticket office.

Is this a private tour?

Yes when booked from Cairo, Luxor, or with the car or flight option: your own Egyptologist and an air-conditioned vehicle for your party only. The bus option from Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh is a shared coach with a guide on board and a private guide is available on request.

How and when do I pay?

You book without a card. You pay on the day of the tour in EUR (or the equivalent in EGP or USD) to the guide, or by bank transfer in advance if you prefer. Flight options need the flight paid 72 hours before travel; we send a link.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup, 48 hours for tours that include a flight. Balloon flights cancelled by Civil Aviation for wind are refunded in full.

Om turen

Det detaljerede program nedenfor er på engelsk; guiden taler dit sprog på dagen.

Karnak is grand; Dendera and Abydos are intact. Roofs, colour, staircases to the terrace, crypts: this is what every temple looked like before the roofs fell in, and the drive along the Nile is part of the day.

Pickup at 07:00. Two and a half hours north along the west bank of the Nile to Abydos, the burial place of Osiris and the pilgrimage centre of ancient Egypt. The Temple of Seti I (c. 1290 BC) has seven sanctuaries and the most refined raised reliefs in the country, the Abydos King List with 76 cartouches from Menes to Seti, and behind it the Osireion, the underground cenotaph. Ramses II's temple next door keeps some of its colour.

On the way back, Dendera: the Temple of Hathor, built by the Ptolemies and the Romans between 54 BC and AD 60 and roofed to this day. The cleaned ceiling of the hypostyle hall shows the sky goddess Nut and the zodiac in colour, the staircase leads to the roof chapel, and the rear wall carries the only large relief of Cleopatra VII with her son Caesarion. The crypts are open.

Lunch is at a restaurant in Qena or on the Nile. Back in Luxor about 16:00; Hurghada guests via the Safaga road, home about 20:00.

Cele mai frumoase temple din Egipt

Abydos și Dendera au acoperișul intact și culorile originale. Ghidul ne-a dus pe acoperișul templului din Dendera și în cripte. Drumul de-a lungul Nilului a fost în sine o experiență. Prânz bun în Qena.
