Early in the morning, you will set sail to Kom Ombo to visit the Greco-Roman Sobek Temple, the temple is unusual in that it is a double temple, with one side dedicated to the god Haroesis and the other side to Sobek. The cruise will continue to sail to Edfu to visit the Temple of Horus (also known as the Temple of Edfu), the second-largest temple in Egypt after Karnak Temple. It is considered the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. This is partly because it was built in the Ptolemaic era from 237 to 57 BC, later than most. Despite its later date, it reflects the traditional pharaonic architecture and so provides an excellent idea of how all the temples once looked.
