KMT408 Edfu & Kom-Ombo Day Trip
Historical Highlights
The Temple of Edfu is an Egyptian Temple located on the West bank of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt.
It is one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt. The temple was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC. The inscriptions on its walls provide important information on language, myth and religion during the Hellenistic period in Egypt.
The ancient god of the city was Horus of the Winged Disk, called the Behdetite. His consort was Hathor of Dendara, whose statue during the late empire was brought to Edfu annually by boat on a ceremonial visit. The monument of ancient Edfu is the great sandstone temple of Horus.
Kom Ombo Temple is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan, Upper Egypt. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty,180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The temple was dedicated to two primary Egyptian gods: Sobek and Horus the Elder, gaining it the dual names of ‘House of the Crocodile’ and ‘Castle of the Falcon’.
