• Abydos - Start your journey at one of Egypt’s most revered locations: the Temple of Seti I in Abydos. This hidden treasure is a stunning example of ancient artistry, featuring remarkably deep carvings, unique ceiling reliefs, and some of the country’s most well-preserved hieroglyphs. The temple is particularly famous for the “Abydos King List,” a carved chronological list of pharaohs. As visitors explore its corridors, they will sense the spiritual essence that once attracted ancient Egyptians on pilgrimages.
• Luxor - Between or after visiting the temples, enjoy a freshly prepared Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant or village stop. Expect traditional dishes such as grilled meats, rice, tahini, and fresh bread — hearty, home-style flavors that provide an authentic taste of rural Egypt. It’s a wonderful chance to relax, interact with locals, and recharge before continuing the adventure.
• Dendera Temple Complex - Then, proceed to the stunning Dendera Temple complex, dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love and joy. This temple from the Greco-Roman era boasts massive stone columns, vibrant astronomical ceilings, and hidden underground chambers. Be sure to visit the rooftop chapels and the renowned Zodiac of Dendera replica. Despite its magnificence, Dendera attracts fewer visitors, offering a more personal, enchanting experience.
