Pretty disappointed. Arrived at 1700 and bought tickets figuring an hour was long enough to see everything. At 1730 the clerk who sold us the tickets said they were closing in 15 minutes and we needed to finish up. She never said they were closing 15 minutes early when we purchased the tickets. The gift shop was also already closed at 1730, so I wasn't able to buy anything. What we saw was ok, but losing 25% of our time really cut into our experience.

One of the most beautiful manors in Lithuania. Inside you can find out about the former owners of this manor Oginskis. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful park. The place is steeped in history.

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.
