Edfu Cruises, Egypt

View Itineraries

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.

Temple of Horus guided tour

This trip takes you to the Temple of Horus – Edfu’s most famous landmark, and the largest and most intact pharaonic temple in Egypt. When you arrive, you can practice your haggling skills with the traders who line the entrance with their street stalls before you step through the 36-metre-high gateway and into the complex. You’ll have a certified Egyptologist with you the whole time, who’ll be on hand to point everything out and answer any questions. And make sure you visit the chapel while you’re here. 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. Just so you know, this experience is included as part of your cruise booking.
