Edfu Travel Blogs

We were up early again and off to our last temple, the one at Edfu.  While not the most magnificent, this was by far the best in terms of hieroglyphics.  The extent of the carvings and hieroglyphics was absolutely amazing.  Not quite as bad as at Philae, the hawkers here were also ve…

I wake up the next morning it is actually a bit chilly - and I think about whether or not to try to unpack my sleeping back and get down in it. I can't be bothered it would mean work and it is too early in the morning to do something that takes that much effort. I wonder why the felucca is stil…

Ayer contratamos un viaje en falúa desde Asúan hasta Kom Ombo para desde allí visitar el templo y dirigirnos a visitar el templo de Edfu. A las once de la mañana estamos montados en el barco esperando al resto de pasajeros. Los primeros en llegar fueron una pareja de chicos ingleses, más tarde…

It is lunchtime and we are shown to our cabin on the Sheherazade boat.  We have a huge double bed, a lounge area and two bathrooms, one each!   Up to the dining room and we are given a glass of hibiscus tea (the Jamaicans call this drink sorrel) and welcomed by the master of the ship…

Edfu - Wow I cant beleive how much there was too see here, edfu is enriched with culture ! first stop the temple of horus it was absolutly amazing it was entirely dedicated to an egyptian god with a falcon head. The carvings on the entrance pylon was amazing i have never seen anything like it .

Egypt one of the most interesting places someone can visit i guess,with all this historical places and different combination of African-Arabic-Asian style.

Travelling to south Egypt on the Nile was a quite interesting trip. We travelled from Luxor to Aswan with a cruise on the Nile. Cruise stoped in Edfu and Komombo. If you want to see the remainings of the ancient Egyptians and the beauty of the you should take this tour.

We were a bit bummed that Edna was removed from our itenerary. That is sthg we had no idea about, and we found out only the previous evening. Funnily enough, it's not as if any of us really knew what we were missing there, we just knew we weren't going there and it was "one place less" in our trip.…

I went for a one week cruise on the river Nile! It was quite a interesting tour, including a sick stomach and crowded tourist places. :-)

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com) After an early rise we finished our felucca journey and Sala and Ayup dropped us off at Kom Ombo, the first of three ancient temples we’d be visiting for the day. After having had two very relaxed days away from the crowds I found it v…

A self-guided sightseeing trip through Jordan and Egypt

In April 2005 I visited Egypt with my mom after I graduated. We booked a tour through the country. We visited the places Cairo, Gizeh, Aswan, Luxor and Hurgadah. We've seen pyramids, the sfinx, temples, mummies and tombs. We did a Nilecruise and we also got the chance to snorkel and saw dolphins.
