Nice place to picnic under the Himalayan cedars. Nice view over the roofs of the village. The rose garden requires an additional gardener!

The town hall park is very well maintained The flower beds are magnificent The rose garden is worth the detour and the vegetable garden is a good idea to supply schools

Nice place... Rose garden to visit. I put a 2 star for the wearing of the obligatory mask for the visit of the Museum of the leather and the tannery, in spite of the low attendance ... Too bad.

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.
