 | Many tourists combine a visit to Luxor with a three or four day cruise up the Nile to Aswan. These cruises are often available as an optional extra from tour reps. in Luxor hotels and can be great value for money at around £100 to £150 for the four-day cruise. On the second day of your cruise you will visit Edfu to see the magnificent Ptolomaic temple there. During the last three centuries B.C. the Greeks ruled Egypt and built several temples in the style of those constructed by the Egyptian pharaohs over 1000 years earlier. This is the best preserved and gives the visitor the chance to walk around a temple, which is almost in its original condition. |
