They served to commemorate his supposed victory at the Battle of  Kadesh and to demonstrate his power to the neighbouring Nubians. Later we will attend the show of light and sound before returning by land to ASWAN and accommodation.   

NB: There is a chance that the night of accommodation in the hotel in Aswan may be replaced by a night on board the boat, for greater passenger comfort and without this affecting the price of the circuit.

Continuation to EDFU. The transfer from the boat to the temple will be by horse-drawn carriage. Visit to the Temple of Edfu, where we will see the marvellous construction dedicated to the God Horus (God represented by a Falcon), which in the past was partially covered by lime during the periodic flooding of the river Nile. The rescue and restoration work complete, we now have one of the most beautiful temples of Ptolemaic times, in an exceptional state of preservation. Night on board.
