The Esna Temple, also called the Temple of Khnum, is an enigmatic ancient Egyptian temple situated in the town of Esna, some way south of Luxor on the western shore of the Nile River.
Here's a general look at this exciting historical monument:
The temple itself was constructed sometime during the Ptolemaic period, in the years between 180 and 145 BCE under Ptolemy VI Philometor and 145 to 116 BCE under Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II, with maybe some parts going back further to the 30th Dynasty. It was dedicated to Khnum, the god who was considered the creator of the universe and source of the waters of the Nile.
Your Happy Egypt guide will meet you at the reception of your hotel to take you to Esna.
Esna Temple:
Dedicated to the god Khnum, who was closely linked with the annual inundation of the river that brought fertile silt to the land and, with that, successful agriculture.
He was invoked by farmers and those dependent on the Nile's bounty for blessings of fertility and abundance.
