The room was very nice, we had view on the garden, the pond and the ducks. The bathroom was very small. The food was very good. We had dinner, that was very good. Great breakfast on Sunday. On Monday however, not so great, only half of what was available on Sunday was not there: no fresh juice, almost no fresh cut fruits, no plain yohurt, 1 type of sandwich, half of the choices of cheese and meat.

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.
