My Dream Egyptian Cruise - Dendura

Lets take a little ride down the road or a small push up river to Dendura as our next stop. I love how complete the temple at Dendura is.

And you will see Cleopatra VII (the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton Cleopatra) and her son from Mark Antony called Caecerian. Make sure you check them all out on the Back wall. PLUS you get to walk the stairs up onto the roof of the complex and see the Zodiak on the ceiling of the small room upstairs. PLUS, as an added bonus it has one of the few full sized sculptures of my favorite Egyptian god Bes, the dwarf
