Dendera is situated some 4 km south-west of Qena township on the opposite bank of the Nile from the main settlement.
Service taxis can be hired in Luxor for the round trip - expect to pay about LE 140-160 - and to travel in a police convoy (which can mean some delays....)
A number of Luxor hotels, such as the Novotel, organise day excursions to Dendera by coach or Nile cruiser (lunch usually included, journey there and back takes most of one full day, with a short visit only at the actual temple).
The '''Temple of Hathor''', ''open daily 8am-4pm (5pm in summer), entry LE 20'' -
