Edfu lies approximately half way between Luxor and Aswan. Our ship birthed there for the night and we visited the temple in the late afternoon, with few other tourists. While this meant we had the site to ourselves, it also meant that the traders in the bazaar outside didn’t have any other punters to hassle !
The temple is dedicated to Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, the falcon headed god, commonly seen branding current Egyptian companies. The temple was built in the Greek Ptolemaic period and completed by the father of Cleopatra VII (the one played by Elizabeth Taylor). It is one of the best preserved.
