In the morning. Your  tour guide will be pick you up from your hotel to start your tour and you will travel to the South of Luxor city to visit The temple of Edfu.

The Temple of Edfu, or the Temple of Horus, is the second largest temple in ancient Egypt, after the Temple of Karnak, located in the city of Edfu in Upper Egypt on the west bank of the Nile. The temple was dedicated to the main god Horus, who was identified as Apollo according to the Greek interpretation. It is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt.

The temple was built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC. The inscriptions on its walls provide important information about the language, mythology and religion of the Hellenistic period in Egypt.

This temple was built during the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometor, but its decoration was not completed until the Roman era, during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. We also see in this temple the same characteristics that we find in other Ptolemaic Egyptian temples in terms of design, architecture and decoration.

However, this temple has a special feature that resulted from the local worship in the place, as people worshipped two local gods, Sobek and Horus with the falcon head. Despite the difference in origin and character of these two gods, they lived side by side for many centuries without mixing or combining with each other.

After finishing your day tour, You will be transferred back to your hor hotel in Luxor.
