Edfu located on the Nile’s west bank between Luxor and Aswan, is considered to be one of the most remarkable ancient Egyptian cities. The Temple of Horus being the center of attraction offers the visitors a time machine experience back to the era of pharaohs where grandeur and sacredness coexisted.
Horus’s Temple, initiated to the falcon-headed deity of protection, is one of those Egyptian temples that still remain in great condition. Built in the Ptolemaic period, it is characterized by towering pylons, delicate hieroglyphics, and splendid reliefs that depict the mythical struggles between Horus and his uncle Set. The magnificence and balance of the temple are evidence of the expertise and dedication of the ancient Egyptians.
Edfu is a common port of call for cruise ships on the Nile River, from which the tourists can visit the whole temple area consisting of the courtyards, statutes, and sanctuaries while getting the feeling of ancient ritual and legend. Getting across the temple, the tourists get to participate in the everyday life of the people living by the river, which is—at least here—still going slowly with the river's flow.
History and culture enthusiasts together with archaeologists will certainly enjoy a very Edfu-like experience—a spot where the essence of ancient Egypt is still around and is found between the stone walls that have remained untouched for ages.
