A very tranquil location with amazing views of the valley. Unfortunately the chateau ruin itself is fenced off but there's space for a picnic

Perfect drone spot. Good training grounds.

Nice picnic spot near a deserted castle. The castle itself is blocked off but views are very pretty. Near the Nieaux cave which is highly recommended

Worth it just for the views down the valley and the mountain peaks, good spot for a snack in the peace and quiet.

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.
