Hathor was primarily constructed during the Late Ptolemaic period, specifically during the reign of Ptolemy XII and Cleopatra VII. Later additions were made during the Roman period. Although built by a dynasty of rulers who were not native Egyptians themselves, the design of this temple has been found to be in accordance to that of other classical Egyptian temples, with the exception of the front of the hypostyle hall, which, according to an inscription above the entrance, was constructed by the Emperor Tiberius.Apart from these, there are also scenes in the temple complex portraying the Ptolemaic rulers. For example, carved onto the external face of one of the temple walls is a huge relief of Cleopatra VII and her son by Julius Caesar and co-ruler, Ptolemy XV (better known as Caesarion). The two Ptolemaic rulers are shown dressed in Egyptian garb and offering sacrifices.Hathor was also regarded as a goddess of healing, and this is evident in the presence of a sanatorium in the temple complex. Here, pilgrims would come to be cured by the goddess. Sacred water (which was made holy by having it poured onto statues inscribed with sacred texts) was used for bathing, unguents were dispensed by the priests of Hathor, and sleeping quarters were provided for those hoping that the goddess would appear in their dreams, and so aid them.<br \/>\n<em><strong>Transfer to\u00a0Luxor\u00a0airport for a short flight to cairo<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\novernight in Cairo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"img-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marsaalamtours.com\/images\/day_table\/11-Day-Egypt-Itinerary-Cairo-and-Aswan,-Luxor-with-Dendera\/Day-7--Dendera-temple.jpg\" width=\"324\" height=\"216\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" dayDescrip panel panel-info\">\n<div class=\"panel-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Day 8-Giza Pyramids and Egyptian museum<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Cairo Day Tour (Giza Pyramids \u2013\u00a0Egyptian Museum\u00a0) start your\u00a0Cairo\u00a0Day Tour to visit\u00a0\u00a0Pyramids of Giza\u00a0\u00a0, visit The Great Pyramid of the king\u00a0\u00a0Cheops\u00a0\u00a0belong to the four dynasty, visit\u00a0Chephren\u00a0&amp; Mycerinus pyramids, then drive to panorama area, take memorable photos of the three Pyramids together, continue visiting the Sphinx and\u00a0\u00a0the Valley Temple\u00a0\u00a0, Next tour to the\u00a0Egyptian Museum\u00a0including\u00a0\u00a0Tutankhamun\u00a0\u00a0treasures, Optional to visit the Mummy room, and \u00a0Overnight in\u00a0Cairo\u00a0.Steigenberger pyramids .<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-body\">\n<div class=\"textConta\">\n<div class=\"img-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marsaalamtours.com\/images\/day_table\/11-Day-Egypt-Itinerary-Cairo-and-Aswan,-Luxor-with-Dendera\/Day-8-Giza-Pyramids-and-Egyptian-museum.jpg\" width=\"326\" height=\"245\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" dayDescrip panel panel-info\">\n<div class=\"panel-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Day 9 -Old Cairo<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Pick Up time from your hotel to luxor airport for a short flight to cairo , Enjoy a fantastic orientation tour of Cairo\u00a0on an 8-hour excursion that takes in the major monuments of Old\u00a0Cairo\u00a0and the maze of streets and stalls of the historic Khan El Khalili Bazaar.
