Dandarah Temple
Drive 62 km north of Luxor to visit the Dendera Temple complex which contains the Temple of Hathor one of the best preserved temple in all Egypt. the whole complex covers some 40,000 square meters and is surrounded by a hefty mud brick enclosed wall.
The present building dates back to the times of the Ptolemaic dynasty and was completed by the Roman emperor Tiberius, but it rests on the foundations of earlier buildings dating back at least as far as Khufu (pyramid builder Cheops, second king of the 4th dynasty [c. 2613c. 2494 BC]).
