trip to Luxor from Aswan passing by Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples
trip to Luxor from Aswan, passing by Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples Soak up the signature sights between Aswan and Luxor without the expense of a cruise on this private door-to-door journey.
Exploring with your personal Egyptologist. (and a separate driver), discover the Temple of Horus at Edfu and the double temple.
Kom Ombo temple
The temple was constructed during Ptolemy VII’s reign and was situated between the Nubian trade routes and the gold mines in the eastern desert. Later, it served as a training facility for wild animals employed in Ptolemy VII’s role-playing against the Seleucid empire. It makes sense that the temple is devoted to the crocodile god because
the location was formerly a favorite spot for crocodiles to sunbathe on the banks of the Nile. Later additions included the hypostyle hall, which Ptolemy the Seventh erected between 51 and 47 BC. The forecourt and exterior walls were also added during the reign of Emperor Trajan, which lasted from 53 to 117 AD.
Edfu temple
Constructed between 237 and 57 BC under the Ptolemaic Kingdom, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is widely considered the most exquisitely preserved of all the ancient Egyptian temples. The building was preserved in virtually excellent condition for 200 years when it was submerged in over 40 feet (12 meters) of desert sand and Nile silt. With its extensive wall carvings,
the largest temple devoted to Horus—one of Egypt’s most significant historical deities—has provided historians with invaluable information about the Hellenistic period of Egyptian history. The exquisite reliefs shed light on the religion, mythology, and way of life of the time. Statues of the falcon-headed god can be found throughout the complex.
