Dendera - half day tour from Luxor

Sign up for an archaeological excursion to visit the famed Dendera Temple. Although it was a religious site since 2,000BC, the current temple was built in the 1st century BC by Ptolemy-XII and Queen Cleopatra-VII and dedicated to the Goddess Hathor, "Mistress of the Sky and Stars". Recently cleaned, the Dendera Temple is one of the most colorful Temples in Egypt with splendid murals and ceilings carrying the original colors. Visit the crypt and climb the priest-staircase to the roof of the temple to find the famous Dendera Zodiac, beautifully decorated with symbols of the 12 months of the year. The original zodiac was un-ceremonially blown out of the ceiling in 1822 and rests in the Louvre.
