- Tombs of El kab - Here, you’ll delve into the tomb of Ahmose, son of Ibana, which details his role in the liberation wars against the Hyksos. You’ll also visit the tombs of Paheri and Renni, local governors during the 18th dynasty, adorned with scenes of agriculture and offerings. Additionally, you’ll see the tomb of Setau, a priest who served Nekhbet during Ramses III’s era. Explore the remnants and the earthen outer walls of ancient Nekhen, once the spiritual and political hub of Upper Egypt at the close of the Predynastic period (circa 3200 - 3100 BC), dedicated to the worship of Nekhbet, the vulture goddess and protector of the Pharaoh.

Temple of Horus - Proceed to the Temple of Horus at Edfu, remarkably well-preserved thanks to the encasing sand. Discovered nearly intact in the 1860s by Auguste Mariette, the temple’s construction began under Ptolemy III Euergetes in 237 BC and concluded with Ptolemy XII Auletes in 57 BC. The temple’s inscribed walls offer valuable insights into the language, mythology, and religion of the Greco-Roman era, including the sacred union of Horus and Hathor, the temple’s founding ceremonies, and the conflict between Horus and Seth.
