Luxor

Days 2-3

Edfu

The Temple of Horus is considered one of the most impressive temples along the Nile. It was built during the Greco-Roman era, but the builders took great care to preserve the ancient Egyptian way of constructing the temple, giving the unique ability to see what the surrounding older temples could have looked like if they were built 2,000 years later. The Temple of Horus is considered one of the most impressive temples along the Nile. Although it was built relatively late in ancient Egyptian history (in the Greco-Roman period), the builders deliberately used traditional Egyptian architectural styles. Because of that, the temple is exceptionally well preserved and built in the same style as much older temples.This gives modern visitors a chance to see what older temples (like those from the New Kingdom or earlier) might have looked like in their prime.
