Town of Edfu

The taxi line: Caleches (horse-drawn carriages) are all lined up and at your service

Our caleche. Wait a minute, there are 5 of us, how can we fit?

I had to sit back-to-back with the driver and our tour guide. Very very cramped and uncomfortable during the whole journey!

The temple and its outer enclosure wall

Temple of Horus, 36M high, 2nd largest after temple of Karnak in Luxor. The reliefs are showing pharaoh Ptolemy XII

Approaching the temple.. that is Ahmed, our useless tour guide.

Entrance to the Great Court

Entrance to the Outer Hypostyle Hall

Rear view of the Great Court, just behind the Pylons. The reliefs tell of the 'Feast of the Beautiful Meeting'

Columns of the Outer Hypostyle Hall. (12 in all)

Columns of Inner Hypostyle Hall, also 12 in total, but more narrower.
