Today we're going to visit the temple of Horus. Being buried under sand and silt for nearly 2000 years, it is the largest and best preserved Egyptian temple. Construction of the temple began in 237BC and the main temple complex took 25 years to complete. It still amazes me to think that we are walking the same steps and touching the same walls that the early Egyptions have.
After our temple visit we continued to sail up the Nile and passed through the Esna lock.
