Contemplative, beautiful morning mass, moving sermon in a wonderful setting. I would like to visit the early mass there more often!

We had the honor of a private tour and were already at Holy Mass at Jaidhof Palace! Heartfelt “God bless you” for the wonderful tour and hospitality. We will be happy to come back!

Beautiful castle to see. Nice to walk around once, but nothing more than that. It was fairly unclear whether it was open and if so where to enter. The garden is a nice walk.

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.
