dont walk uphill, there is parking near the entrance. Ruins of a medieval fortress. Explore remnants of history, climb the old walls, and imagine life centuries ago. Perfect for history buffs and nature lovers. ???

Beautiful but ruined, within the forest, partial conservation is going on.

A short (but rather exhausting) walk uphill from the parking lot. But it's worth it. The tower has been renovated. The walls are in ruins, but still pretty cool. The road is paved and you can reach the site with a vehicle. There is a small parking lot up there. But beware, the road is pretty narrow. I love places like this, therefore 5 stars.

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.
