Dendera (also spelled Denderah), is a little town in Egypt. Located about 5 km up Nile from Qina, on the opposite side of the Nile. Once the capital of the 6th nome of Upper Egypt, though never that important.

Rather isolated on the desert edge, about 2.5 km south of the Town, lay the mostly Greco-Roman Temple Complex, Dendera, known in ancient Egyptians as Lunet or Tantere.

The main temple, Hathor temple, is one of the best, if not the best, preserved temple in all Egypt.
