Audio Guide of the Monumental Gateway of Tiberius at Dendera

The Monumental Gateway of Tiberius at Dendera is open every day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You can easily get there from Luxor (65 km to the south) by taxi or by booking an organized tour. We recommend checking updated times on the official IAudioguia page.

General admission costs 200 EGP (approx. €6.50). Students with valid ID pay half price. IAudioguia’s digital audio guide costs an additional €5, which you can book directly on the website.

We recommend spending 30–45 minutes exploring the Monumental Gateway, although if you combine the visit with the adjacent Temple of Hathor (the full complex), you will need 2–3 hours. Our audio guide has a total duration of 40 minutes with detailed explanations.

This 1st-century AD structure, built under Emperor Tiberius, marks the entrance to the Temple of Hathor. Its importance lies in the astronomical reliefs and inscriptions that show the fusion of Roman and Egyptian art, including a famous zodiac.

The ideal months are from October to April, with milder temperatures (25–30°C). Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and intense heat. In July and August, temperatures exceed 40°C.

Access is limited because of uneven ground and ancient steps. Some areas are accessible, but not the entire complex. In our audio guide, we offer adapted routes with detailed descriptions of physical barriers.

Just 4 km away is the Temple of Hathor (essential), and we recommend combining it with:- Abydos Temple (85 km to the north)- Luxor and the Valley of the Kings (1 hour by car)- Luxor Museum (to give context to your visits)
