Great stone circle and little cairn . Well preserved with very good parking and access . Fair play

Surprised to spot a sign. Not disappointed when we popped along to see this ancient site.

Archeological sight with parking lot free of charge. Please read carefully about Neolithic circles since it is no much detailed information on the sight presented.

Quaint little circle, on a rural area, she about the fence and MOF etched into the stones. Nice place worthy of a visit though

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.
