Edfu was previously known as the Greek city of Apollinopolis Magna, and is a religious and commercial centre. Located about 33 miles south of Esna and 65 miles north of Aswan, this is a friendly town which produces sugar and pottery. It is also a hub of road networks. It was the capital of the second Nome (Horus) of Upper Egypt.
