These include Valley of the Kings, the mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon.

Day 3: Edfu Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, and on to Aswan

The third day of your 5 Day MS Esplanade Nile Cruise will see you leaving Esna quite early in the morning, with breakfast being served out on the water while you are sailing along the Nile towards Edfu.

When you arrive at Edfu, your Egyptologist tour guide will escort you and the other members of your small group to see the truly magnificent Temple of Horus. This is the best preserved temple ever discovered in Egypt, thanks to the fact that it became buried beneath the sand and remained that way for more than 2000 years after it was abandoned by the Romans.

One half of the temple was dedicated to Sobek the crocodile god, while the other half of the temple was dedicated to Horus the falcon-headed god. Because this temple was dedicated to two different gods, both halves had to be identical to each other.
