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!

Everything was great. We did Cairo tour and Luxor. 7 pers with driver and guide. The trips was tiring, but it was worth it.
We received exactly the services reserved.
The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
Really great day out, Akram , knowledgeable and fun,Akram was good company. A really excellent itinerary and experience, with all the hassle taken out and a lot of positives added in. Highly recommended to everyone!
We had booked airport transfers from Hurgada airport to our resort in May 2022 and our experience was excellent. What sets this company apart was the responsive service we got through WhatsApp messaging. You may not be aware of this but meeting a taxi driver at airport is not so easy or obvious as the security personnel does not allow drivers in or even standing by the entrance. It all was resolved easily by WhatsApp communication. I cannot overstate how important is having a rapid response when something does not go as you would expect. Thank you Ashraf.
I am aware this company does much more than airport transfers: while I did not use any during my stay, I wouldnot hesitate to recommend this organisation to plan for your excursion needsin Hurghada.
Update April 2023: Used them again for this trip booking through Hoppa, same excellent service.
