Private Day Tour to Dendera Temple

“A wonderful day at Dendera, with a few caveats”

Our day began with pickup from Luxor Airport before heading to the Dendera Temple Complex, which was absolutely astounding. I can already see it being a highlight of our trip. We could easily have spent much longer exploring it. Ali, who organised the tour, had been involved in a motor accident and couldn’t accompany us. However, he arranged for his colleague Mohamed to take over, and he was great. Mohamed shared so much information about Luxor, ancient Egyptian history and the temple itself, making the experience all the more rewarding. Our driver was also pleasant. Where things were a little less enjoyable was with the additional stops. We declined an offered visit to an oil and perfume shop but did stop at an alabaster factory. We were genuinely interested in seeing the craftsmanship and finding something special to take home. However, the heavily inflated starting prices and expectation to haggle made the experience less enjoyable than anticipated. We would have preferred a more authentic experience without the pressure of negotiating. Lunch was another consideration. The traditional Egyptian food was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed it, but the pricing was extraordinarily high for what was provided. A 300ml bottle of Coke cost approximately AUD $18, and lunch came to around AUD $50. For food available elsewhere in Egypt for a fraction of the price, it felt excessive. Ultimately, we had a wonderful day and Mohamed’s knowledge was a real highlight. We perhaps had a different expectation of what a private, tailored tour would offer, hoping to move away from the more commercial aspects of tourism and focus on the history and culture that make Egypt so special. We would absolutely recommend Dendera and appreciated Mohamed’s expertise. We also want to acknowledge Ali, whose communication and organisation were excellent. Despite his accident, he went out of his way to arrange a replacement guide rather than cancel our tour. We were very grateful for his efforts.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. I'm delighted to hear that you had a wonderful day at Dendera and that Mohamed's knowledge and passion for ancient Egyptian history made your experience so rewarding. First, I sincerely appreciate your kind words about my communication and organisation. I was genuinely disappointed that my accident prevented me from accompanying you personally, but I'm glad Mohamed was able to step in and provide you with an enjoyable and informative experience. I also truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the alabaster factory and lunch. I'm sorry that these additional stops did not meet your expectations. I completely understand your preference for authentic cultural experiences without commercial pressure or unexpectedly high prices. Your comments are valuable, and I will certainly take them into consideration when organising future tours. My philosophy has always been to offer guests a personal experience focused on Egypt's incredible history, culture and hospitality, rather than simply visiting tourist attractions. Thank you again for your understanding, kindness and recommendation. It was a pleasure organising your day, and I hope the rest of your journey through Egypt was just as memorable. You will always be welcome back! Warm regards, Ali
