Speaking of decorated tombs, while in Luxor you will be able to explore the Temple of Goddess Hathor in Dendera. Hathor personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. A sight to behold, the carefully preserved temple displays a massive stone roof, dark chambers, underground passages, and towering columns that are covered in ancient hieroglyphs.

While you're in Awsan you'll explore the romantic Philae Temple. When the High Dam was built, the temple completely flooded and was moved stone-by-stone to a new island that was landscaped to replicate the old one. You'll also get to visit the Granite Quarries that provided most of the hard stone used to build the pyramids and temples as well as take a relaxing stroll through the lush greenery of Lord Kitchener's Botanical Gardens. Finally, if you want to know what these sites looked like when they were first re-discovered by archaeologists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Niquesa team can also arrange a special slideshow with early images of the first expeditions that you need special archival permission to access.
