Horus Temple

Located it the middle of Edfu, one of the many cities along the Nile in between Aswan and Luxor, Horus Temple is a spectacular example of the splendor of ancient Egypt. Construction began in 237 BC by Ptolomaios III and was completed in 57 BC. Most people reach this destination by taking a cruise along the Nile headed down the river, making a stop of approximately two hours. You will have to take a caliche, an Egyptian horse drawn carriage, to the temple in order to make the most of your short visit there. Pay attention to where you are in the temple because it is large enough to become somewhat lost in its dark environs.
