This trip takes you to the Temple of Horus – Edfu’s most famous landmark, and the largest and most intact pharaonic temple in Egypt. When you arrive, you can practice your haggling skills with the traders who line the entrance with their street stalls before you step through the 36-metre-high gateway and into the complex. You’ll have a certified Egyptologist with you the whole time, who’ll be on hand to point everything out and answer any questions. And make sure you visit the chapel while you’re here. It’s decorated with colourful inscriptions depicting the birth of Horus – a god with the body of a man and the head of a falcon. Just so you know, this experience is included as part of your cruise booking
