Ptolemy XII commissioned the main structure, and Queen Cleopatra VII almost finished it. The complex's oldest section dates back to 345 BCE, when Nectanebo II, Egypt's last native pharaoh, built it. The temple complex has managed to keep its remarkable structural integrity through the ages. Builders dedicated it to Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of love, fertility, music, and dancing. The Dendara Temple complex includes several structures beyond the main temple - a basilica, two birth houses, and a sacred lake. Then drive back to Luxor west bank.
