Edfu river cruises, Egypt

What's great about Edfu river cruises?

Edfu – on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt – is a small city dating back to 3000 BC. Today, its main attraction is the Temple of Horus. Practice your haggling skills at the row of street stalls lining the entrance, before stepping through the 36-metre-high gateway to get inside the complex. This place was buried in desert sand around 200 years ago, which helped keep everything intact – including the roof. Once you’re there, don’t miss its chapel. It’s decorated with colourful inscriptions depicting the birth of Horus – a god with the body of a man and the head of a falcon.
