Highlights
  • Abydos - Built ca. 1279 BCE
    The Temple of Seti in Abydos (300 miles south of Cairo) was constructed by Seti I and his son, Rameses II. Seti was a pharaoh of Egypt in the Nineteenth Dynasty, ruling from 1290-1279 BCE. Seti not only opened mines and rebuilt damaged temples, he also continued the construction on the hypostyle hall of Karnak. Ramses II was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty and had the second longest reign in Egypt, ruling from 1279-1213 BCE. It is largely believed Seti built the temple itself, while Ramses completed the decorations, the surrounding courtyards, and other works.

The sacred city of Abydos was the site of many ancient temples and was the burial place for the first kings of a unified Egypt. Nearby there was also a predynastic cemetery with hundreds of graves.

Additional Information

Do you fancy trying something unique in Egypt that many other tour operators don’t offer? This is an exclusive journey that includes visits to two of the most celebrated temples, Dendera and Abydos, among other remarkable attractions.

We will collect you straight from your hotel’s front entrance in Hurghada.

Our first stop will be Abydos, an ancient city known for its invaluable archaeological significance. Explore the Temple of Seti I, renowned for its well-preserved and still partly coloured reliefs. Witness the renowned Abydos King’s List showcasing the lineage of ancient monarchs who ruled before Seti I.

Next, we’ll travel to the Osireion, an extension of Pharaoh Seti I’s Temple, erected to honour the deity Osiris and purportedly home to his head, as per the legend.

Following a midday meal, we’ll proceed to the tour’s second highlight: Dendera. This striking Ptolemaic temple, devoted to the goddess Hathor, stands as one of Egypt’s most-kept sacred sites.

Egypt Sunny Trips (Hurghada) through Mustafa. The best service and quotes for day trips and Taxi service. - We were staying at the 'Grand Waterworld Resort' Makadi Bay. I reviewed trips on 'TripAdvisor & 'Getyourguide'. They differed by £5 only. I chose the company (through TripAdvisor) 'Egypt Sunny Trips (Hurghada). Through their website I contacted 'Mustafa' direct on the number ending 9281. All further contact was through WhatsApp. I was in a family group of 9. I booked the trip to 'Abydos' and 'Dendara' Temples. I was amazed to find that I was the only traveller that day. I had my own driver 'Mustafa' & an excellent guide Mohamed. Other companies insisted on a minimum of 4 travellers. Not the case with 'Egypt sunny Trips' (Hurghada). They were extremely accommodating. Mustafa went above and beyond, showing me the genuine side of modern Egyption people, away from the tourist traps. I must add that 'Mustafa' charged me an extremely good (lower) quote than those offered elsewhere, including the hotel. Do not book trips through any Hotel. I suggest you look 'outside' as I did. Hotels charge at least 4 x greater cost for everything. I will write a separate review of the excellent taxi service provided by 'Mustafa' at 'Egypt Sunny Trips' (Hurghada). Thank you Mustafa for the fantastic customer service you provided me.
