Edfu is located 123 kilometers north of Aswan and about 140 kilometers south of Luxor, and is a must-see for visiting the Luxor-Aswan Golden Route. The very famous temple here is the Temple of Horus, because the local terrain is low, and when the Nile River overflows, the entire temple is submerged in the deep soil, making it the best preserved temple in Egypt. The Temple of Horus was built in 237 BC and took more than 200 years to complete. It is mainly dedicated to Horus, the eagle-headed god. Horus is one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt. He is the child of the sun god Osiris and the protector goddess Isis. He is usually described as a condor wearing an Egyptian crown. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt regarded themselves as the incarnation of Horus. . The whole temple is 137 meters long and 79 meters wide at the front. The gate of the temple is 36 meters high, which is not very large. There is only one main temple, and there is an eagle head statue of Horus outside the temple. The interior is similar to other temples, with a huge column hall outside and a stone room inside, which contains a rare crocodile mummy.
