A horse carriage will be waiting for you and your private guide to explore the Temple of Horus in Edfu. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon god, the temple was built from 230 to 57 BC by Ptolemy

III and his successors and is considered the best preserved cult temple in Egypt because of its later construction date. Despite its late era origins, it reflects traditional pharaonic architecture, and the Temple’s inscribed building texts provides an excellent idea of how all the temples once looked, with details about its construction. It fell into disuse as a religious monument when the Roman Empire banned all nonChristian worship within the Empire in 391. Edfu is an impressive temple, and is the second largest in Egypt after Karnak Temple

The Kom Ombo Temple:

Transfer  with your private guide and disembark from your Nile cruise to explore on foot the Kom Ombo Temple, a unique GrecoRoman temple dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, the sun god. The Temple in Kom Ombo dates from about 180 BC, during a period known as the Ptolemaic era, and had some additions built on to it during Roman times. It stands right on the bank of the Nile between Edfu and Aswan. The temple is unusual in that it is a double temple, with one side dedicated to the god Haroesis and the other side to Sobek. The design is almost perfectly symmetrical, with two sidebyside sanctuaries and two parallel passageways leading through the outer parts of the temple. The right side is dedicated to SobekRe (the crocodile god combined with the sun god Re), along with his wife (a form of Hathor) and their son KhonsuHor. Sobek is associated with Seth, the enemy of Horus. In the myth of Horus and Osiris, Seth and his followers changed themselves into crocodiles to escape. The ancient Egyptians believed that by honoring the fearsome crocodile as a god, they would be safe from attacks. The left side is dedicated to Haroeris, the “Good Doctor” (a form of the falconheaded god Horus the Elder) along with his consort TaSentNefer, the “Good Sister” (another form of Hathor).

The Temples of Karnak

Begin with a visit to the Temples of Karnak, strolling along the Avenue of Sphinx to enter the complex. The Temples of Karnak make up the history of Thebes and consists of colossal sandstone columns transported 100 miles along the Nile River, panoramic friezes. Discover with your guide how the massive façade was constructed.

The Temples of Luxor

Continue to Luxor Temple which was once joined to the Temples of Karnak by a 1.25­mile­long Avenue of Sphinx, a portion of which marks the entrance to the temple. The temple dates to approximately 1400 BC and is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship rather than the Pharaohs, cult gods or deified versions of the king in death. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings served as a legionary fortress and acted as the home of the Roman government in the area.

The famed Valley of the Kings, hidden between rocky escarpments, was the final resting place for the kings of the 18th, 19th, and 20th dynasties. Their main attraction is their wonderfully vivid wall paintings. Since it was believed that the dead man, accompanied by the sun god (or perhaps having become one with the sun god) sailed through the underworld at night in a boat, the walls of the tombs were adorned with texts and scenes depicting this voyage and giving the dead man instruction on its course

Mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Explore the recently renovated mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the second historically confirmed female Pharaoh.

Colossi of Memnon.

End the visit to the West Bank with a visit to the Colossi of Memnon, the only remaining monuments of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III
