DAY 6, MON: EDFU – KOM OMBO – ASWAN (B/L/D)
Enjoy breakfast on board before visiting the Temple of Edfu. This temple is not only the best-preserved ancient temple in Egypt
but also the second largest after Karnak. It was believed that the temple was built on the site of the great battle between Horus
and Seth. Hence, the current temple was but the last in a long series of temples built on this location. We will then sail to Kom
Ombo and enjoy lunch and afternoon tea onboard the ship. This afternoon, you will disembark and enjoy a short walk to the
Temples of Kom Ombo. This complex consists of two temples: The Temple of Sobek and the Temple of Haroeris. In ancient
times, sacred crocodiles basked in the sun on the riverbank nearby. The Temple has scanted remains, due first to the changing
Nile, then the Copts who once used it as a church, and finally by builders who used the stones for new buildings. As we sail
toward Ancient Nubia, you may participate in an Egyptian Galabeya Party.
