Egypt, a country known for the magnificence of its pharaohs and the adventures of its gods, is filled with numerous cultural and architectural treasures . The Valley of the Kings, the Pyramids of Giza, the Library of Alexandria; these are all traces of Egypt’s glorious past. A country where the buildings create a breath-taking landscape that could dazzle and delight 
even the most indifferent person. A country of a thousand paradoxes, where the fascinating and noisy street markets of Cairo contrast with the deafening silence of the huge desert plateau of the Sahara. You will be fascinated by the beauty of the majestic Abu Simbel temples which are situated on a remote hilltop, facing the Nile. The Nile, the country’s main artery, has preserved over time the most beautiful remnants of Egypt’s past, which you will discover on a cruise. Beyond the architecture, you will discover Egyptian culture . This is a culture in which the souks are kings, the smell of spices perfume the streets and conversations are interspersed with genuine hugs. All of these are reflections of a passionate life.

The site at Dendera is magnificent thanks to its imposing temple, which is almost intact. I was fascinated by this building, with its crypts, its spiral staircases decorated with hieroglyphics, its monumental columns and its massive stone roof. I recommend that you visit the outer hypostyle hall, built by the Roman Emperor Tiberius: an incredibly beautiful place with its lovely stone columns, which bear a sculpture of the head of the goddess Hathor on their four sides. 
From the offering hall, take the time to visit the sanctuary, the most sacred part of the temple, which houses a statue of Hathor and the west staircase, which is richly decorated with mythological scenes. Opposite the temple of Hathor lies the temple of Isis, built by the Emperor Augustus (to the south) and the Mammisi ("birth centres", in Coptic) to the north of the temple of Hathor, both also worth the detour.
