Perched majestically by the Nile, this unique Greco-Roman temple offers breathtaking river views and boasts incredibly rare inscriptions. Marvel at the intricate "festival list," a detailed "list of surgical instruments" – a testament to ancient medical knowledge – and the ancient "Nileometer," used to measure the vital floods.

Temple of Horus
After a refreshment break, including a chance for a coffee and use of facilities, the journey continues for approximately an hour and a half to the city of Edfu. Here, you'll embark on a captivating guided tour of the Temple of Horus, the second-largest and arguably the best-preserved temple in all of Egypt. This magnificent structure, dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus, dates back to the Greek era, with construction spanning nearly 180 years from 237 BC to 57 BC under the Ptolemies. Its remarkable state of preservation offers an unparalleled glimpse into ancient Egyptian religious practices and architectural prowess. Discovered in modern history by a French expedition, its intact condition makes it truly spectacular.
