Edfu

Between Esna and Aswan, on the west bank of the Nile River, is the Egyptian city of Edfu, which has a population of about 60,000. The Ptolemaic Temple of Horus and the historic town of Tell Edfu are both located in Edfu. Ancient pyramid ruins can be found around 5 kilometers south of Edfu.
About 50 meters to the west of the Ptolemaic temple, to the left of the pylon of the earlier temple, are the ruins of the ancient city of Edfu. This settlement is known as Wetjeset-hor and the Greek name was Apollinopolis Magna.

Edfu: the Temple of Horus

Edfu, about 110 km south of Luxor on the West Bank of the Nile, is home to the Temple of Horus, the most complete temple surviving from ancient Egypt. Built between 237 and 57 BC under the Ptolemies, it keeps its roof, pylon, inner sanctuary and long reliefs of the battle between Horus and Seth. Two granite falcons guard its entrance.

Edfu is a stop on every Nile cruise between Luxor and Aswan and can also be visited on a day tour from Luxor or Aswan or on the road to Marsa Alam.
