Dendera Temple

About the Site

The Temple of Hathor at Dendera, near Qena, is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Most of what stands today was built in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods on a far older sacred site.

Its hall of columns topped with Hathor's face, ceilings painted with deep-blue astronomical scenes, rooftop chapels with a cast of the Dendera Zodiac, and a relief of Cleopatra VII and her son Caesarion make it unforgettable.

Visiting tips

About an hour's drive north of Luxor; often combined with Abydos for a full day. Bring a torch for the crypts.
