A nice stop if you're passing by. We did have to pay for the parking lot, not sure if that's usual or just some local kids trying to make an extra buck during their holiday. From the parking lot it's a litte hike uphill to the actual castle. Didn't visit the castle itself but from the outside you can already see most of the ruin.

Original wall of the central tower; exhibitions and makets on each floors; tomb of the former landlord Kinizsi P.; magnificent landscape.

From outside it looks small but you can spend easily more than an hour inside

Amazing view from the top of the tower. They will start a major refurbishment soon, so go and see while you can!

Seeing a historical Castle is always amazing me. The surroundings and the view is very nice. Small parking area; however, we arrived just before the closing (one hour before 5 pm) there were no problem to find a place to park. In addition received 10% discount. It is a must to see.

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.
