This older temple was erected during the reigns of King Tuthmosis III and then during the ruling period of Queen Hatshepsut. The recent temple of Kom Ombo was built during the period from 205 till 180 BC in the ruling period of King Ptolemy V. with Nile Dahabiya move to Edfu which was a flourishing city in Ancient Times. Today, the most important monument in the city of Edfu is the Temple of Horus, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful and preserved Temples in Egypt. The origins of the Temple probably date back to the Second Intermediate Period, but the actual Temple only dates back to Ptolemaic times. Edfu Temple is considered the second largest temple after Karnak. It was constructed on the Ptolemy III era and completed during the Ptolemy IV era, dedicated to Horus, the falcon headed god. Therefore it was the center of many ancient Egyptian sacred festivals to Horus.

The Temple was relocated by UNESCO after the building of the Aswan Dam that threatened the site. Moreover, you will be able to visit the Unfinished Obelisk which lies in its original location, in a granite quarry in Aswan. It dates back to the 18th century during the reign of Hatshepsut and supposed to be the biggest part of Egyptian masonry.
