Temple worth seeing - This temple was worth seeing, as it is very well-preserved, having been buried in sand for centuries. But the temples all kind of meld together after you have seen several. Horse ride to it was worthwhile, horses looked well-treated to me.

Fantastic restoration. - It’s hard to believe that something this big was hidden for so many years because it had become buried in sand, it’s huge. The restoration has been fantastic as so much of the carvings/writing is so clear. It really is an amazing temple.

Simply perfect - Another enchanting temple to visit. What you have seen in the internet and more is there, because in the temple you also have the advantage of feeling yourself in the ancient times.

Magnificently preserved temple - This temple was buried under the sand for over 2000 years. There are 2 large black granite statues of Horus the Falcon God for whom the temple was built around 230 BC. There is also a replica of Horus's sacred boat.

Well-preserved Ptolemaic Temple of Horus in Edfu! - This was not a temple I had read much about, so it was a nice surprise. While I tend to love the monuments of the Middle Kingdom the most, this much later temple has the advantage of the precision and perfection of style found in more recent sites. The temple dates from around 237-57 BCE and is particularly know for its recounting of the myth of the conflict between he gods Seth and Horus. Because it was buried in sand over the years, it is a very nicely preserved complex of buildings (also showing indications of earlier temples and building projects by earlier kings). Although I like the more colorful Temple of Dendara better, this one is absolutely worth a visit!

Nice Temple for History Fans - We took a horse carriage from our ship to Edfu Temple. It was an enjoyable if not for the driver who was reckless and demanded tips from us. After many visits to the temples, it becomes overwhelming for us. However, Edfu Temple will still fascinate history fans.

Another very interesting temple - The Edfu temple is well worth a visit. Unfortunately we hurt unseasonal hot weather. Take some 5 LE notes with for the toilet. Not the most hygienic but usable. The horse carriages make for a different way to get from the port to the temple.

Beautiful temple but overcrowded and poor carriage horse welfare. - The temple was spectacular! Unfortunately, there were too many cruise ships docked at the same time and there was severe overcrowding inside the temple. The carriage horses also needed more veterinary oversight to improve their welfare. Most were too thin, many were beaten by their drivers, and some horses had open sores on their sides.

Animal Cruelty at Efdu Temple - The only way to get to the temple is by horse carriage and these horses are not only malnourished, but also bruised, bleeding, one was pregnant, and are clearly getting mistreated. It was a sad scene that is truly unacceptable! Please don’t support this and ask for alternative transportation!
