Säby Church is a bit difficult for me to describe. It is so beautiful inside and out. The ceiling with its paintings in all directions is adorable. The different departments feel so beautifully integrated as a whole. The atmosphere feels calm and pleasant. The cemetery with lawn has a section with old gravestones. The other part has beautiful rose bushes by the graves which look so lovely and harmonious. There is a disabled toilet in the cemetery and parking outside.

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.
