Bebris Castle

Mtskheta, Georgia

Bebris Tsikhe (The Elder's Fortress) is located further up the main road from Samtavro. The ruins are fun, if a bit dangerous, to climb on for views overlooking Mtskheta and the valley formed around the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers.

My friends and I found this fort from the internet and decided to check it out. Overall, it's not bad and the view from it was amazing! The fort itself is not really well maintained, but we still enjoyed it. This fort is around Mtskheta area.

The fortress has stunning views on Mtsketa, but it needs to be renovated. Not well cared.

Needs restoration a little bit, but it’s definitely worth seeing because of wonderful views ?

The fortress is filled with animal/human p*** and very dirty. I didn't make it past the entrance as there was a danger I might step into something. Avoid.

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.
