About Qena
Qena is an Egyptian city on the east bank of the Nile, north of Luxor. It's known for the ancient Dendera temple complex, just across the river. Dendera's well-preserved Temple of Hathor, in Greco-Roman style, has stone columns, carvings and hieroglyphics. In town, Qena's Sheikh El-Qenawi Mosque commemorates the 12th-century religious leader Abdel-Rahim El-Qenawi, who founded a Sufi order in the city.
