Tour Overview
Sail north from Luxor to Hathor’s temple, walk the roof if it is open, sail back the same day. This itinerary is "Dendera Temple by Nile Boat". Named stops: Luxor dock, Temple of Hathor at Dendera.
The road is faster; the boat is the point. We do not add Abydos on a sailing clock.
Dendera is Hathor’s temple north of Luxor: a complete roof, astronomical ceiling, and fewer coaches than Karnak.
