*The Temple of Horus at Edfu*—often simply called the Temple of Edfu—is regarded as the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. Its remarkable state of preservation is partly due to its relatively late construction during the Ptolemaic period, between 237 and 57 BC.

Despite being built centuries after most other temples, it faithfully follows traditional pharaonic design, offering a vivid impression of how Egypt’s temples once appeared. It is also impressively large, ranking as the second biggest temple in the country after Karnak.

Edfu itself is a provincial town situated roughly midway between Luxor (115 km to the north) and Aswan (105 km to the south), and about 65 km north of Kom Ombo. Today, it is a staple of nearly every Egyptian travel itinerary. Visitors can reach it by taxi or enjoy a Nile cruise that ends with a charming caleche ride to the temple
