Overview

A long day north to two of the best-preserved temples in Egypt — Dendera's painted ceiling and the Abydos king list — with almost no other tourists.

This is a serious drive, roughly three hours each way, and it is worth every minute. Dendera's astronomical ceiling has been cleaned back to its original colour, and Abydos holds a carved list of seventy-six pharaohs that is one of the foundations of Egyptian chronology.

Highlights

Dendera
  • The Temple of Hathor
  • The restored astronomical ceiling
  • The crypt and the roof chapels
Abydos
  • The Temple of Seti I
  • The Abydos King List
  • The Osireion
