- Temple of Horus - The Temple of Horus, also known as the Edfu Temple, is an ancient temple located in the city of Edfu, in southern Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt and is dedicated to the god Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky and protector of the pharaohs.
The Temple of Horus was built during the Ptolemaic period, between 237 BC and 57 BC, and was constructed on the site of an earlier temple that dated back to the Old Kingdom. The temple’s construction took over 180 years, and it is considered one of the most impressive examples of ancient Egyptian architecture and design.
During a visit to the Temple of Horus, visitors can explore the various parts of the temple, including the halls, chambers, and courtyards. The temple is known for its incredible carvings and decorations, which depict scenes from ancient Egyptian mythology and history.
