Edfu is our last and final temple of our Viking Cruise. The temple here was buried in sand for 2000 years and is very well preserves as a result. The pylons are complete and the carvings still very distinct and beautiful. We were getting as bit weary and suffering from a touch of temple fatigue. So very few pictures survived the tour.
They had 25 or more horses with carriages lined up for all the passengers
The Temple of Horus is 105 feet tall and it has the largest complete set of decorated Pylons
This complex took 180 years to complete
The ceremonial boat that all the cool gods ride in
This one has a sail
Horus is the one with the falcon head We visited a side chamber that was dedicated to the god of fertility
We have pushed off and are cruising
Love the candy stripe sails
Going through the locks, our path is blocked by floating vendors
