Edfu lies on the west bank of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, among sugar-cane fields and date palms. The Temple of Horus, begun in 237 BC under Ptolemy III and completed almost two centuries later, is among the best-preserved temples in Egypt. A massive pylon carved with giant figures leads into a courtyard and halls still roofed in stone, with the sanctuary of the falcon god at the back.
