Highlights
-
Temple of Horus - The Temple of Edfu is an Egyptian temple located on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt. The city was known in the Hellenistic period in Koinē Greek: and in Latin as Apollon polis Magna, after the chief god Horus, who was identified as Apollo under the interpretatio graeca.
Take the advantage and visit Edfu Temple which was built at the Battlamy age for the
god Horus 237 BC. -
Temple of Kom Ombo - You will also visit the Temple of Komombo which was erected at the Batlamyos the sixth. Its walls were decoration which is marked by exactness and beauty.
Dating from 180BC, Kom Ombo Temple is unusual because it is duplicated, mirroring itself on either side of a central axis. This is because it was dedicated to two gods: Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world along with Hathor and Khonsu, and also Horus, and each needed their own set of rooms. Sobek was the crocodile god so, of course, crocodiles were mummified for him. Some of the hundreds that have been discovered nearby are now on display in the temple.Time, the Nile River, earthquakes and later builders taking the stone for other buildings, have all taken a toll on this building. The surrounding town of Kom Ombo is now home to many of the Nubians displaced by the flooding to make Lake Nasser.

Paradise class semi submarine - It was one of the greatest tours I've ever done in my life... the semi submarine was nice and big, the staff were professional and nice. We took enough time to take pic with the corals and the amazing different fish. One of the best things, one the divers dive in the see and start feeding the fish to gather it in front of us so we can take some great photos .. they gave us soft drinks and also had a chance to do a bit of snorkeling which was fun .. I loved it .. go your trips guide..❤❤
