Particularly the grand entrance, take your time here! The detailed carvings and hieroglyphs will catch your eye. Additionally, the beautifully decorated ceilings are magnificent.

Dendera is considered to be a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture. This is because of its many complex features. Including beautiful painted ceilings. Plus many hieroglyphic inscriptions. When visiting, learn about the main structure, the Temple of Hathor. The Temple of Hathor includes two separate sections. First is the forecourt area. Then the sanctuary of Hathor. In addition, each area of the temple is highly decorated.

The temple of Seti (Abydos) has an unusual L-shaped ground plan and was built primarily of limestone, with the occasional use of sandstone in different areas throughout the structure. The temple was completed after Seti I's death, by his son, Ramesses II, whose cartouches are found in certain parts of the temple, along with his characteristic sunk relief style, that is different from the very fine raised relief of his father.
