The
modern metropolis of Cairo pulses with activity, yet the
past is so close by. The great Pyramids of Giza and Memphis
are all within easy reach. Inside the city the
world-renowned Egyptian Museum allows a glimpse of the rich
heritage of this land. Whether exploring the ancient or
living the present, Cairo will leave you with an impression
of excitement & awe.
Cairo is
Egypt’s capital city, and with over 16 million inhabitants, it
ranks as one of the largest cities in Africa. This city of
contradictions will enthrall you with its ageless charm. The
ancient and the modern co-exist in surprising harmony, and the
hospitality and friendliness of its people will set you at ease.
Historic Cairo includes the wonders of the pharoahs, as well as a
religious heritage embodied in the numerous jewish, coptic and
islamic monuments that abound.
The
southeastern city of Luxor is home to some of the most
remarkable ancient monuments in all of Egypt. The vast
Karnak Temple Complex, ancient religious and educational
center, is one of the most spectacular examples. There is
also the Valley of Kings, where the famous tomb of King
Tutankhamun was found, and the Valley of Queens, final
resting place of Queen Nefertari. In addition to the
splendor of its museums and ancient temples, Luxor is also
the perfect location to embark on a Nile Cruise.
The
southern city of Aswan is one of Egypt’s most important
attractions. It is one of the sunniest cities in the
country, small enough to walk through and enjoys an ideal
location on the bank of the beautiful Nile River. Close at
hand is Elephantine Island with its pre-dynastic ruins, and
Kitchener’s Island, home to a lush tropical garden full of
exotic plants and flowers. Aswan is the perfect spot to
embark on a Nile cruise or simply enjoy the river views from
the comfort of your hotel.
The town of
Edfu, on the west bank of the Nile 56km south of Esna and 105km
north of Aswan, is today an important centre for sugar
production and pottery-making. Edfu was the place where the god
Horus was worshipped and where the battle between Horus and his
traditional enemy Seth in ancient mythology took place. The main
monument at Edfu is the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus on the edge of
the town and was first excavated by Auguste Mariette in the
1860s.The Temple of Horus at Edfu is the best-preserved ancient
temple in Egypt and the second largest after the Temple of
Karnak. The temple was built during the six reigns of the
Ptolemies on the site of the great battle between Horus and
Seth. Horus was the falcon headed god.
About 28
miles north of Aswan is the Temple of Kom Ombo built on a
high dune overlooking the Nile River. Ptolemy VI built the
temple in the 2nd century BC but Ptolemy XIII built the
outer and inner hypostyle halls. Augustus built the outer
enclosure and part of the court around 30 B.C. The temple is
actually made up of two temples: that of Sobek and that of
Haroeris. In ancient time, crocodiles waded in the river.
There are two entrances, two courts, two colonnades, two
hypostyle halls and two sanctuaries. There were probably
even two sets of priests for the two temples. Foundations
are all that are left of the original Pylon. Beyond the
Pylon, there was once a staircase in the court that led to a
roof terrace. In the southwest corner is the one column that
does not echo the duality of the temples. Here, there are
scenes depicting purification of the King, his coronation
and his consecration of the Temple. The ceiling has
astronomical images. In the anti chamber, there are scenes
depicting the goddess Seshat. Statues to the gods and the
builders of the temple once occupied the net room just
before the sanctuaries. The ceiling of the pure place to the
north still remains with an image of Nut. There is little
left of the sanctuaries
