A day trip during the Luxor part of our journey to see Abydos and Dendera with an absolute dream team. - We stayed in Luxor for 4 nights and during our time there we had our guide, Hossam Rashwan, and our driver, Ahmed Sayed, taking us to see the sights and spending time with us every day. The tour to Abydos and Dendera was truly amazing. Both temples are well worth a visit but Abydos stands out, it's a moving place to see and experience. Hossam is a great guide, knowledgeable and has a deep understanding of the sites and their histories as well as being an excellent story teller. I would truly recommend to travel with our duo Hossam and Ahmed. It's not just that that they took us to see the monuments and sights we wanted to see it's also that they were genuinely good people to be around. We went to local coffee shops together just to have a drink and talk about life. It was wonderful to visit those sights and wonderful to meet Hossam and Ahmed. I hope you will also have the same chance!

Flawless tour and great temples, probably the best in Egypt. - Abydos and Dendera temples are not easy to reach but they worth an effort! The daytrip means about 6 hours in a car so we were happy to have a good Japanese car and careful driver with us. We started 2 hours later than these tours normally do but were in time to see everything thanks to Love Egypt and Mr. Hass, who actually joined us to ensure smooth trip. The price was great too.
