The Temple of Hathur, the Egyptian goddess of the sky, of women, fertility and love, was built by Egyptians during the reign of Greeks/Romans. The temple was built at Dendera to demonstrate that the Romans were accepted by the Egyptian gods.
As our ship had not been able to sail north of Luxor travelled by minibus (the other four of our group skipped the trip), although the journey was made quicker by the police allowing us to use the newly built desert highway which we were told is not always the case for tourists. We were rewarded by having the site almost to ourselves.
