Dendera and Abydos are
located north of Luxor.
We came there by car and driver. The
drive was a bit too fast, as there was a lot of territory
to cover to get to both sites. There were several
security check points along the way.
It will take most
of a day to visit both the sites. You should take as much
time as possible, as they are both relatively intact and
both contain many beautiful reliefs.
Abydos and Dendera are open for
tourists to travel down from Luxor via car for the 2001 season. But, as always, it is best to check local sources
and your own consulate for advice.
The Lonely
Planet covers Abydos and Dendera on
pages 258-265, and has practical suggestions on how to
get there.
The Penguin
Guide covers Abydos and Dendera on
pages 269-284, and includes discussions of reliefs in the
temples. |
