Magnificent estate with an exceptional view of the olive fields. Just as perfect a welcome and remarkable tasting quality from a enthusiast of his field. Difficult to make a choice among these oils with varied and refined tastes Too bad not to have closer access to the castle itself Absolutely worth discovering

A nice little olive grove. They produce one of the best olive oils I ever tried. You can order it online, however if you are close it is worth a visit. they have a small shop where you can try the different olive oils before you buy them. The staff is really friendly and explain the different flavors and the history of the place.

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.
