Really impressive place. A small village with a beautiful castle. One of the places where you dont meet any tourists

The castle looks amazing from afar, we basically had the castle for ourselves and saw an eagle when we reached the top. It has a beautiful view as well. Unfortunately you cannot access the tower as far as I'm aware. The guide didn't seem to understand much English and seemed surprised to have guests.

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.
