Over Night Trip to Edfu Temple With Hotel Included

Overview

The Temple of Edfu stands as one of Egypt’s most well-preserved ancient sites. Buried under centuries of sand and silt until the nineteenth century, it was rediscovered by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette. As you explore the complex, you will see largely intact architecture and a wealth of legible inscriptions carved into the walls. The temple is dedicated to the falcon god Horus, and the surviving reliefs and texts will give you a clear sense of its religious significance. You can take your time wandering the courtyards and halls with no rush, soaking up the atmosphere of this old city. The experience includes an overnight stay there, so you will break the journey and spend a night close to the site before heading back to Luxor the next morning. Along the way you will have space to reflect on the temple’s history and the impressive state of preservation that makes Edfu a memorable stop on any Nile-side itinerary.
