Over the years, the people of this town did not like to be associated with a god who represents evil (Sobek), so they added another god, Haroreis, as his brother and partner in the temple cult. Legend has it that Sobek, the evil brother, plotted against his brother Haroreis and the population when he saw his beloved god leave the town, and he also left until he left the town completely deserted.

Full board on board. Visit to the Temple of Horus. It is the best preserved temple in Egypt and the most important after Karnak.

Sailing to Luxor. Visit to the Temple of Karnak or the Temples of Karnak, which is considered the largest temple in Egypt with its avenue of rams and its hall of 132 columns and visit to the Temple of Luxor dedicated to the god Amun - Ra where the avenue of sphinxes stands out, the Obelisk with more than 25 meters of height and the statues of Ramses II and the Naos.
