Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples

 Edfu and Kom Ombo temples are two incredible ancient Egyptian temples along the Nile River. Let me tell you a bit about each of them..





Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus, is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. It's located in the city of Edfu, which is about 50 kilometers south of Luxor. This temple was built during the Ptolemaic period, around 237 BCE, and it took over 180 years to complete. As you enter the temple, you'll be amazed by its massive entrance pylon, towering columns, and detailed reliefs. The main hall, known as the Hypostyle Hall, is truly awe-inspiring, with its grandeur and intricate carvings depicting various religious scenes. 

Don't forget to check out the sanctuary, where the statue of Horus was believed to reside. Exploring Edfu Temple will transport you back in time and give you a glimpse into the ancient Egyptian history.

Kom Ombo Temple, located in the city of Kom Ombo, about 45 kilometers north of Aswan. This unique temple is dedicated to two gods - Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. What makes Kom Ombo Temple truly special is its symmetrical design, with two identical entrances, halls, and sanctuaries. The reliefs on the walls depict various medical instruments, as the temple was also known as a healing center. One fascinating aspect of Kom Ombo Temple is the presence of a crocodile mummy gallery, where you can see the preserved remains of these sacred creatures. Visiting Kom Ombo Temple  In your Egypt tour will give you a deeper understanding of the ancient Egyptian beliefs and their connection to nature.




Both Edfu and Kom Ombo temples offer an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in ancient Egyptian history and architecture. Exploring these temples during your Egypt classic tours will leave you in awe of the craftsmanship and the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. If you ever get the chance to visit, make sure to take your time and soak in the beauty and significance of these remarkable sites.
