Aswan and the Edfu Temple

---

Cruising down the Nile is a magical experience, we moored at Edfu, received a wake up call at 7ish and ducked down for a buffet breakfast. After breakfast we headed ashore to visit the well preserved Temple of Horus, considered one of the finest examples of temple construction!

Later on that night we enjoyed a fancy-dress party with of course a Egyptian theme. By the end of the night we arrived at the city of Luxor, truly a beautiful city.

This is one of the best if not the best temple structure in all of Egypt. it's amazing... and huge

An example of the other religions damage... this is more than usual but in general they systematically pick away at the faces - arms and legs.
