These offered the possibility of make purification baths for access to the Al-Dabbagin Mosque (the current church iglesia de San Sebastián).

It is divided into the living room bayt al-mash, the latrines, the cold room bayt al-bárid, the temperate room bayt al-wastani, the hot room bayt al-sajûn, the cistern and the qanat.

While the old city is full of tourists, there was no one here. There is no information board. It was taken away.

Quiet ruins but sadly buggy area and covered in waste (animal or human). Not nice to walk by.

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.
