what temple life must have been like in ancient times.
Frankincense
and myrrh wafting through the great pillars and harp strings sounding
ancient chords as voices chant in the processional toward the
Holy of Holies. Carved on the temple pillars, we observe harps,
double pipes, sistrums (rattles), tambourines and dancers offering
gifts for the abundant of creation.

referred to as the "Exaltation of Horus".
On the inner
face of the east pylon of the temple is a description of the annual
Festival of the "Great Reunion".
Once a year
the Goddess Hathor would travel from Dendera Temple to Edfu to
visit her consort/husband Horus. Many of these ceremonies were
enacted within the temple walls for the priesthood and their invited
guests, while the rest of the people of Edfu had to wait impatiently
outside the walls for the beautiful sailing of Hathor.
Until then
the people only heard vague echoes of singing and dancing coming
from within the temple walls. After exploring this lovely temple
we return to our Cruise ship and sail to Kom Ombo After dinner

In the early morning, we will visit the
Island Temple of Philae.
The mystical and majestic aura surrounding this temple complex
is breath taking and attracts visitors from all over the world.
As our boat approaches the island it will be just before sunrise.
Seen from a level of a small boat, the island with its palms,
its colonnades, its pylons seems to rise out of the river like
a mirage.
It is as if
one expects white-angels to come sweeping around between the palms
and the pylons. We enter the temple and move across the massive
courtyards, through huge rooms to the inner sanctuary of Isis.
