Detailed itinerary
1
The Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is widely considered the best-preserved ancient Egyptian temple. Located on the west bank of the Nile, its excellent condition is a result of being buried under sand for centuries, which protected it from the elements and vandalism.
2
The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique and fascinating site because it is a "double temple," with two perfectly symmetrical sections, each dedicated to a different god. One half honors Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and creator of the world, while the other is dedicated to Haroeris, or Horus the Elder, the falcon god.
