What a grandeur looking temple! We came here at Edfu temple right at the crack of dawn by a horse carriage. The entrance is a bit confusing and we couldn’t find our guide at one point because you have to walk through the valley of souvenirs shops. (They were closed at that time). Anyways when we saw the temple as we walked in we were marveled by how the early morning sun lit up the front of this huge temple. Temple has an interesting history and through out the temple you will find inscriptions of the fight between Horus and Seth. I loved how the pillar is decorated with flower shape at the top. This temple was buried when a massive flood came and covered this whole region. That is why it is preserved so well to date. Come early. Enjoy ! 😊

The Edfu Temple is one of the most impressive temples we visited in Egypt. It’s dedicated to Horus and feels incredibly grand the moment you walk in. The massive entrance, tall columns, and detailed carvings really show how well-preserved it is. You can still see a lot of the original wall reliefs and hieroglyphs, and it gives a great sense of how majestic ancient Egyptian temples once were. Definitely get a guide to listen to all the history. It’s fascinating!

Edfu Temple is one of the most striking and complete of ancient Egyptian temples and is dedicated to the worship of the god Horus. Situated on the western bank of the Nile in Edfu, its construction began during the reign of Ptolemy III (246–221 BC) in 237 BC, but was completed in the reign of Ptolemy XII (80–51 BC) in 57 BC, 180 years later. The temple remained buried under layers of settlement debris for millennia, which is why its architectural and decorative elements have survived so well. In 1860 the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette uncovered and restored parts of the temple. The temple is fronted by two massive pylons that bear scenes of Ptolemy XII conquering his enemies and worshiping deities. Two large granite statues of the falcon-god Horus stand before the pylons. Once through the pylons you enter into a large Peristyle court lined with columns decorated with floral capitals. Beyond this court are two Hypostyle Halls, the first illustrates the temple’s foundation with the king engaged in worship, the second holds scenes of Horus’ journey in a sacred bark accompanied by the goddess Hathor. From the second Hypostyle Hall is the Transverse Hall, then the Sanctuary of the temple.

Sure this place is a little 'newer' than most other temples you'll see in Egypt. But it is old, it is important, and it is an example of how critical it was for the Greek rulers of Egypt to get with the program and lead where the people wanted to go (with respect to culture and religion). There's a lesson somewhere there...

totally worth a visit. It’s one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, so you really get a feel for what these places looked like back in the day. The entrance alone is jaw-dropping! It’s not usually packed with tourists, If you’re doing a Nile cruise, don’t miss this stop
