Perfect tour - I fully enjoyed the trip. Beautiful temple and very rich history. My guide Mossy is very knowledgeable. He explained the details of the temple and I learned a lot. Whenever I had questions, Mossy answered them with great enthusiasm. After the guided tour, I have enough free time to explore the temple myself. Our driver Taha is very friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

An Unforgettable Journey Through Dendera Temple - We visited Dendera Temple the next day, after Luxor's trip, and it was the best suggestion we could’ve received—it’s one of the most mysterious and fascinating places in Egypt. I can’t even describe how excited I was to explore it, and the beauty we found there completely blew me away.
All the temples in Luxor are incredible, but Dendera has something truly unique. Maybe it’s the vivid colors, the beautifully preserved hieroglyphics, the stories carved into every wall, or the peaceful atmosphere. Whatever it is, once you see it for yourself, it will stay in your heart forever.
Once again, Mohsen was the perfect guide. His passion and deep knowledge helped us connect with the spirit of this magical place and understand its history in such an engaging way.
This visit was absolutely worth it—10/10!
P.s= the catacombs, a must!

Wonderful experience at Dendera with an Excellent Guide! - We had a fantastic half-day trip from Luxor to the stunning Dendera Temple, and it was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Egypt. The site itself is absolutely incredible—beautifully preserved, rich in history, and full of intricate details that left us in awe.
What made the experience even better was our guide, Mohsen from Reflections Travel. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian history. Mohsen provided fascinating insights that brought the temple to life and answered all of our questions with great depth and enthusiasm. His guidance really enhanced our visit and helped us appreciate the site even more.
Everything was well organized and smooth, and we felt very well taken care of throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour and especially Mohsen as a guide if you're planning to visit Dendera!

Guide was nice man, yet had no clue about history nor the site - It was basic the driver and a car. The “guide” was nice man, yet he didn’t know anything about the site, nor history. In this case it would be enough to have a driver and a car.
