The Temple of Horus at Edfu

Visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu, the largest and best-preserved Ptolemaic temple in Egypt. The entrance to this awesome complex is guarded by two elegant black granite statues of the falcon-god Horus, son of Osiris.  You will walk through the immense Court of Offerings (pictured below) and the Hypostyle Hall en route to the hallowed Sanctuary of Horus,which contains a shrine of polished black granite and an offerings table.
