Dendera

The Ptolemaic temple of Goddess Hathor

This temple is one hour driving North of Luxor and often visited in combination

with the Abydos temple (in this case a full day trip).

Do not forget to take the stairway to the roof. You can find

there the original place of the Zodiak, now in the Louvre Museum Paris, France

The temple viewed from the Visitorcentre.

The original colours are still bright and well restaured.

The birth of the sun every day on  the ceiling of a side chapel.
