You will be having your breakfast, and after that you will jump back to the Nile cruise, visiting two of the most important temples located in Egypt: Edfu and Kom Ombo, both of which have centuries of history dating from the times of Ramses II.
The first port of call will be the Temple of Horus at Edfu, built in 237 B.C.
in honor of Horus, the falcon-headed god who is considered to be the king of the gods and lord of the skies. Built under Ptolemy VII, this temple is one of the best retained in Egypt.
Edfu Temple lies to the west of the Nile River, an hour’s drive from Aswan, and is often referred to as “the temple of millions of years,” a name derived from the intricate reliefs found inside illustrating scenes from the Book of Gates—a prominent book within the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
After Edfu, the next destination is Kom Ombo Temple, which is an unusual two-fanged temple complex from the reign of the Ptolemies.
This edifice sculpted on the rock face serves a dual purpose for the cult of Horus and that of Sobek, which is a theme in ancient Egypt.
When all is said and done, you shall have some free time on your Nile cruise and then sail away until you reach the historically rich southern city of Egypt, Aswan.
