💖Overview of attractions
✔️Temple of Horus. Horus is one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt. He is usually described as an eagle wearing an Egyptian crown. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt regarded themselves as the incarnation of Horus. The whole temple is not very big, there is only one main temple, and there is an eagle-head statue of Horus outside the temple.
✔️Kong Ompo Temple. "Kon Weng Po" means "Golden City" in ancient Egyptian. Like other temples, it also has tall stone pillars and dilapidated temples that look desolate, but what makes it unique is that it has two gates. One gate was built specifically for the falcon god Horus, and the other was built specifically for the crocodile god, so the Kom Ombo Temple is also called the "Twin Temples".
✔️Abu Simbel Temple. This is a temple built by Ramses II to show off himself and attempt to extend his life into the afterlife. The temple has two majestic tower doors, a pillar hall with 48 huge stone columns, two wide courtyards and three sanctuaries. There are also lifelike paintings on the stone walls of the atrium.

☀️Whether it is the majesty of the temple or the mystery of the pyramids, Egypt tells that distant and glorious history in its own unique way. Come, bring your curiosity and spirit of adventure, and embark on this journey through time and space together, letting your soul fly freely in the civilization of ancient Egypt!
