Government Building sights in Egypt

1. Temple of Hathor

   • Qena, Egypt
   • Sights › Government building

   Although built at the very end of the Pharaonic period, the Temple of Hathor at her cult site of Dendara is one of the iconic Egyptian buildings, mostly ­because it remains virtually intact, with a great stone roof and columns, dark chambers, underground crypts and twisting stairways all carved with hieroglyphs.
