The Abu Simbel Temples, south of Aswan along Lake Nasser’s shore, are the most famous in all of Egypt after the Giza Pyramids. Built by the greatest of the pharaohs, Ramesses II, it was also known as the Temple of Ramesses II or Ramesses II.

These huge rock-cut temples marked the southern boundary of the Egyptian Empire with Nubia at the peak of its power during the New Kingdom.

They were meant to convey the power of Egypt’s rulers to anyone who laid eyes upon them. The four statues guarding the doorway to the larger of these temples are the largest sculptures that survive from the ancient Pharaonic era.

Later, tour the imposing Greco-Roman Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to Horus, the Sky God, and Sobek, the Crocodile God. Admire the fascinating detailed reliefs on the walls

kom Ombo temple

The setting of this temple of Sobek, the crocodile god, makes an approach by water the far superior way to visit this site. The temple is perched atop a picturesque bluff alongside the river, and while there are no longer any crocodiles in the river or in the sacred lake inside the temple complex, this riverside temple is still worthy of a visit.
Like the other two sites between Luxor and Aswan, Kom Ombo dates from the Ptolemaic Dynasty, and it was only completed under Roman rule. The temple has a dual dedication to Sobek, as well as Horus, and the plan of the temple reflects this dual purpose.

This afternoon, the ship departs for Luxor, formerly known as Thebes in ancient Egypt, via Esna Lock.

Edfu temple

The Temple of Horus at Edfu is widely considered to be the most impressive of all of the Nile-side temples along the journey between Luxor and Aswan. It is a required stop by all of the cruise ships that make the trip, also stopping at Esna and Kom Ombo.

Like at Esna, the temple at Edfu is a late construction. It was built during the Greco-Roman Period, but the builders painstakingly preserved the form of Egypt’s true pharaohs. As a result, a visit to Edfu allows you to see what all of the other ruined temples around Egypt might have looked like had they been built 2000 years later.

Luxor temple by night

On the east bank of the Nile River, in the south of Egypt, the World’s Largest Outdoor Museum, Luxor City, contains one of the most beautiful temples standing. The Luxor Temple is a mark of ancient Egyptian civilization, a strikingly graceful monument in the heart of modern Luxor.
Different from other temples in Luxor, the Luxor Temple was not built in adoration for a god or by a god figure of the kings and pharaohs; instead, it was built in dedication to the rejuvenation of kingship. Many kings might have had their crowning at the Temple of Luxor, whether crowned in reality or conceptually, as in the case of Alexander the Great, who claimed he was crowned at Luxor, although facts appear to indicate that he had never traveled south of Memphis, which is considered the modern city of Cairo.
