Beautiful place to visit

An excellent place if you are ok with a simple but very affordable room in the hotel wing of the monastery. Very clean and quiet place with stunning view over the city. The breakfast is very good.

Beautiful and seen place. The church is a must see, the garden also. The cafe is big and was very busy. But stunning views. A great place to either meet a friend for a coffee or to contemplate.

We went there for a conference with my husband and our two toddlers. We have a good attention, and they provide us want we need. I woul say is family friendly, but need more playground or something for kids.

By far the best hotel in Fulda and surroundings! The location is perfect, especially when you have a room overlooking the city and the breakfast is good. The rooms are in the monastery itself, which is beautifully kept alive, with monks still living there. The walk down to the city is a long one, but worth it. I wouldn't think of another place to stay in Fulda.

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.
