Also, during your Egypt tour with a Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, and Cairo, you'll visit the remarkable Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir El-Bahari, an impressive structure carved into the cliffs of the Theban Mountains. Along the way, you will stop to admire the Colossi of Memnon, two gigantic statues that have stood for over 3,000 years and guard the burial site.

While cruising the Nile during your trip through Egypt, you'll stop at the Temple of Edfu, dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. Known for its remarkable preservation, the temple features impressive reliefs depicting the legendary battle between Horus and Seth, as well as large pylons and a massive inner hall. Not far from Edfu, you'll visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, a unique double temple shared by two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder. The temple is famous for its symmetrical design, with two entrances, halls, and shrines, one for each god, and well-preserved reliefs depicting crocodile worship and ancient surgical instruments.

In Aswan, you'll explore the Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis.
