Full day transfer Luxor-Aswan over Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo
Visit the Esna Temple, dedicated to Khnum. 24 columns hold the temple ceiling with well-carved palm and lotus flower capitals. The ceiling itself is adorned with the Ancient Egyptian interpretation of the constellations, moon phases and astronomical figures. It is lovely to see the professionals at work during an ongoing restoration and cleaning project of the temple. The Edfu Temple is one of the best-preserved shrines in Egypt. The walls provide details of the construction, the religious myths and the history of the God Horus. Last stop is the famous double temple dedicated to Haroeris ("Horus the Elder") and Sobek. Some remarkable scenes on the temple walls are the portrayal of a set of surgical instruments that look extraordinarily like the ones we use today, and an ancient calendar shows the hieroglyph figures for the days of the month and the seasons. Of course, you also visit the Crocodile Museum with its mummified crocodiles found in the temple area.
