Two of the most beautiful temples in Egypt, north of Luxor and far from the crowds. At Abydos, the Temple of Seti I holds some of the finest reliefs of the New Kingdom and the famous King List naming 76 pharaohs. At Dendera, the Temple of Hathor, goddess of love, music and beauty, is among the best preserved of all, with its painted ceilings and rooftop chapels.
