Egypt
|
The 2000 year old temple is dedicated to the hawk-headed god Horus. Two huge stone statues of Horus guard the 116ft high entrance. The bus took us from our Nile cruiser through the small town of Edfu, about half way between Awan and Luxor. This was an interesting opportunity to get closer to 'real' Egyptian life than we had been before. From the bus we could see men groups on men in cafes, sucking on their shisha pipes, and women hanging out washing in impossibly small places on apartment balconies.
