Highlights of Your Temples Experience
⛩ Temple of Seti I – Abydos
Abydos is one of the oldest and most sacred sites in ancient Egypt, believed to be the burial place of Osiris, god of the afterlife. The Temple of Seti I is a masterpiece of sacred art, with vivid carvings, deep-relief hieroglyphs, and the famous Abydos King List — a chronological list of pharaohs that continues to intrigue historians and seekers today.
🌌 Temple of Hathor – Dendera
Explore one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt. The Temple of Hathor — goddess of love, joy, and beauty — stuns with its astronomical ceiling, vibrant colors, towering columns, and underground crypts. This temple is also home to the mysterious Zodiac of Dendera, a copy of which still sparks debate about ancient astronomy.
