News, Aswan: Ministry of Antiquities Extends Opening Hours at Edfu and Kom-Ombo Temples
The
two temples will close an hour later during the winter due to lower River Nile
water levels, which delay the arrival of cruise boats. Written BY/ Nevine
El-Aref.
The
Ministry of Antiquities is to extend the official opening hours of the Edfu and
Kom-Ombo temples in Aswan during the winter months, starting on Saturday.
Mostafa
Waziri, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, told Ahram
Online that the decision was taken in cooperation with the governorate of Aswan
in response to the delayed arrival of cruise boats at both temples due to a
drop in water levels on the River Nile. The
move also reflects the ministry’s keenness to provide high-quality services to
tourists, he said.
The
opening hours for the Edfu temple will be extended to 5 pm every day, instead
of 4 pm. The temple at Kom-Ombo, meanwhile, will remain open until 9 pm,
instead of 8 pm.
