A bit ruined, but an interesting, historical place. It can be visited for free, it can also be reached by car on a gravel road at a slow pace, and it is a 10-minute walk from the stone road.

Anyone who goes there should definitely visit the monastery. The monks who live here are aloof, but kind. Everything is free to visit. A significant part of the monastery is under renovation, but regardless, the atmosphere is fantastic ?

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
