Description
Dendera Temple Day Tour is your opportunity to see a temple once the ancient Egyptians have just left their hands out of it!
This temple dates back to Cheops. However, it is one of the most well-preserved temples in ancient Egypt! Some hieroglyphs hint at a much older construction history.
The temple has unusual acoustic properties! Some Egyptologists believe that ancient Egyptians may have used it for healing through sound frequencies.
Follow the evidence and get to know the hidden secrets and facts with your Egyptologist from Golavita!
It is not an ordinary visit to this temple!
A Crookes tube (early light bulb) is found amid the inscriptions! Is that reality? The ancient Egyptians discovered the electricity!
Here, an ancient bas relief map of the heavens was found in the temple, depicting all 12 zodiac signs! So, did the ancient Egyptians know about the astronomy?!
It seems as if there are many mystries to explore about ancient Egypt!

Great private tour to see desert and abandoned Roman ruins. Excellent service. We had private jeep, driver and tour guide. Amazing adventure, more than we expected. I strongly recommend this service. They can take you to some cool and unknown places far from main routes. Thank you for the amazing time!
Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt".
As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things.
And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too.
The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️
Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.
I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
We booked a tour with Golavita, Mr Akram was very quick to respond to our questions and checked in with us daily to see how the tour was going.
Waleed, the tour guide, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The bottles of water to keep us hydrated was also a very nice addition.
The private transport was top class, modern air conditioned vehicles and friendly and helpful drivers.
We had the best guide ever, Ashraf! He is super skilled with a big heart. We became friends. I could definitely recommend Ashraf and the guided travels he does!
