Day 01 Edfu & Kom Ombo Temples

Your tour guide will meet you at the reception of your hotel to lead you to discover two of the most important luxor attractions that you will see on your Luxor day trip:

Edfu Temple:

The city of Edfu is midway between Luxor and Aswan. It is about 110 K.M from each city. It is famous for the Greek temple of the falcon-headed god Horus.

Edfu was known as (Behdit) “where the god was exalted,” in Ancient Egypt. Its temple is one of the most intact temples in Egypt. It began in 237 BC and finished after 180 years. It was dedicated to the God Horus (Apollo) and his festival “the Beautiful Union”.

You will approach the temple by the Mamisi or the birth house.

There are some amazing scenes as the first pylon and in the inner rooms, such as the festival scene, the foundation scene, and the famous scene of the battle of Horus and Seth.Kom Ombo Temple:

Kom Ombo, or (the hill of gold), is famous for its temple and the sugar factory.

The temple is smaller than Edfu, and was built as well in the time of the Greeks and Romans. It was dedicated to Horus and Sobek; that’s why the temple looks like two temples united in one, with two sanctuaries.

It was very famous as a sanatorium, so there are seven medical clinics in the back of the temple. The 1st part of the temple is cut off by Muhammad Ali to construct the sugar cane factory.

Among the beautiful scenes in the temple is the most exciting scene of the surgical tools. A nilometer to measure the level of the flood is to the left of the temple. A crocodile museum was recently built in the vicinity of the temple with some crocodile mummies.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
