Breakfast is served upon arrival at Edfu Then you'll go see Egypt's most complete and well-preserved temple, flanked by magnificent granite statues of the falcon god Horus. The Ptolemaic temple was devoted to "Horus", the falcon god. The reliefs that decorate the temple's walls, columns, and doorways are a vital source of information about ancient Egyptian religious and political philosophy. The most interesting of these reliefs depict Horus getting his revenge on Seth for the murder of his father, Osiris, an incident that was re-enacted every year in the temple. Other reliefs describe the stages of the temple's construction and provide completion dates for various building parts. After finishing our visit to Edfu Temple, we returned to the boat and sailed to Kom-Ombo temple while eating lunch. When you get to the location, you will travel to see the extraordinary double-built temple devoted to the Falcon god "Haroeris" (the southern portion) and the Crocodile god "Sobek" (the northern section). It was constructed during the Ptolemaic era. The picture on the inner face of the temple's back wall is very interesting, as it most likely depicts a set of surgical instruments. We're returning to the boat, having dinner, and then sailing to Aswan overnight.

The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the "Nubian Monuments," which extends downriver from Abu Simbel to Philae temple (near Aswan). The ancient Egyptian architects are said to have positioned the temple's axis so, the sun's rays would penetrate the sanctuary and illuminate the sculptures on the back wall, except for the statue of Ptah, the god associated with the Underworld, who remained in the dark. These are the king's birthday and coronation day, according to legend.
