DAY 04: NILE CRUISE – KOM OMBO – EDFU

Relax on board the boat as it sails towards Kom Ombo and upon arrival, view the the Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to the god Horus of the skies and Sobek, the crocodile god. Arrive at the Temple of Horus at Edfu, a sandstone structure completed in 57 BC by Cleopatra’s father, Ptolemy XII. Re-embark and savour the scenes along the riverbanks, giving you an insight into the everyday life of Egyptians. Cross the Esna Lock, on the way to Luxor. Temple of Kom Ombo: Kom Ombo stands on a promontory at a bend in theNile, at the north end of the largest area of agricultural land south of Gebel el-Silsila, between Aswan and Edfu. Situated on a plateau cut by two long dry streams which isolated the site, it provides one of the most spectacular settings of any of Egypt’s river temples. The temple was located in the ancient city of Pa-Sebek, “the Domain of Sobek”, who was the crocodile god worshipped since the Predynastic Period. Temple of Edfu: The Temple of Horus in Edfu (also known as the Temple of Edfu) is considered the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. This partly because it was built later than most: in the Ptolemaic era from 237 to 57 BC. Yet despite its later date, it exactly reflects traditional pharaonic architecture and so provides an excellent idea of how all the temples once looked. Edfu is also very large: the second largest in Egypt after Karnak Temple.

DAY 05: LUXOR

Arrive into Luxor and visit the Necropolis of Thebes before continuing to the Valley of the Kings, the site of nearly all the pharaohs’ tombs. On the eastern side of Thebes is the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut. Before lunch, you will visit Alabaster factory and Colossi of Memnon. Proceed to Luxor Temple and Karnak temple before return to your hotel. Necropolis of Thebes: Thebes, the city of the god Amon, was the capital of Egypt during the period of the Middle and New Kingdoms. With the temples and palaces at Karnak and Luxor, and the necropolises of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, Thebes is a striking testimony to Egyptian civilization at its height. It is a world heritage site. Luxor Temple: The modern town of Luxor is the site of the famous city of Thebes (Waset, in ancient Egyptian), the City of a Hundred Gates. It was the capital of Egypt from the twelfth dynasty on (1991 BC) and reached its zenith during the New Kingdom. It was from here that Thutmose III planned his campaigns, Akhenaten first contemplated the nature of god, and Rameses II set out his ambitious building program. Only Memphis could compare in size and splendor but today there is nothing left of Memphis: It was pillaged for its masonry to build new cities and little remains. Although the mud-brick houses and palaces of Thebes have disappeared, its stone temples have survived. The most beautiful of these is the temple of Luxor. It is close to the Nile and laid out parallel to the riverbank. Karnak Temple: The first pylon is the last to be built at Karnak and is the main entrance into the temple today. It was never completed and is undecorated; even the remains of the mud brick ramps, used to build, it can still be seen inside the great court. The north tower is about 71 feet (21.70m), and the south tower 103 feet (31.65m). If the structure had been completed it would probably reached a height of between 124 feet (38m) to 131 feet (40m). It was built by Nectanebo I (380-362 BC) who also built the huge enclosure wall surrounding Karnak and some scholars believe that an earlier pylon may have stood on this same spot. An avenue of sphinxes leads to the pylon. These sphinxes are ram-headed, symbolizing the god Amun and a small effigy of Ramesses II, in the form of Osiris, stands between their front paws.

Close to the eastern flank of the Pyramid of Khufu lie three small pyramids dedicated either to his wives or family members. The Second Pyramid: Built by Khafre (Chephren), south-west of his father’s (Khufu’s) pyramid though lower in height: 136 m. It still retains, on some of its upper parts, the remains of the limestone that had once covered it all. At the base, it measures 215.5 m square. lts interior is simple, with two entrances on the north side. The visitor can also still see the remains of Khafre’s mortuary temple, the Temple of the Valley, and rising causeway. These temples witnessed the religious rites during the embalming of the body. The Third Pyramid: Built by Menkaure (Mycerinus), south-west of the Great and Second Pyramids. It is much smaller than either one (62 m high). It is distinguished by the fact that the lower part of its sides still retain their granite slab coverings. The Sphinx: On the way to the Temple of the Valley, lies the large statue of the Sphinx. The Sphinx is carved from a single piece of stone.  One of most famous monuments in the world, it is indeed a legendary statue for it has the body of lion and the face of a man. lt is 70 m long and 20 m high.
