What ancient temples of Egypt can be seen during a cruise on the Nile?
Between Aswan and Luxor, a stop is made in the town of Edfu so that tourists can see the temple of Horus, the son of Osiris. Most often on the same day the vessel arrives in Kom Ombo. There is an ancient temple dedicated to several Egyptian gods, in particular, the Mountain (with the head of a falcon), Sebek (with the head of a crocodile) and his mother Hathor. The mummies of crocodiles are exposed in the sanctuary of Sebek.
Upon arrival in Aswan for those wishing to organize a trip to the temples of Abu Simbel, located on the reservoir Nasser. You can take an additional excursion to the Kalabshi temple (the same Mandulis temple) or to the temple of Isis on the island of Fila, also near Aswan. There is an opportunity to see the temples of Dera, Amad, as well as Wadi-es-Cebu, Dhaka and Maharakka, which were moved closer to the city to save from flooding during the construction of the Aswan Dam.
