"These castle ruins are truly magnificent - and I don't just mean the walls! With their imposing towers and mysterious basements, you feel like you're in a medieval adventure film. But, and that's a big but, if you want to take a break and enjoy the view , where is the seating if you want to unpack your refreshing drink? Maybe they should introduce a "knight's lounge" with picnic blankets and cooler bags - then you could really relax like a king while admiring the view of this majestic ruin! "

The approach to the ruins of the castle could be better marked, but a charming place. Free entrance and folders on site. Nice view of the Main.

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.
