Private Day Tour To Dendera Temple From Hurghad (all inclusive)

Overview

You will enter the Temple of Hathor, a monument largely built during the Late Ptolemaic period under Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII, with later additions from the Roman period. Although the Ptolemaic dynasty were not native Egyptians, the temple’s design follows classical Egyptian traditions. As you approach the hypostyle hall you will notice an exception to that continuity: an inscription above the entrance credits Emperor Tiberius with constructing the front of the hall. As you move through the complex you will encounter carved scenes that portray Ptolemaic rulers. On the external face of one temple wall you will find a large relief of Cleopatra VII alongside her son and co‑ruler, Ptolemy XV (often called Caesarion). The two figures are shown dressed in Egyptian garb and offering sacrifices, a striking example of how the Ptolemaic rulers presented themselves within traditional Egyptian religious imagery.
