Edfu - Docking and Temple Visit with Viking River Cruises
We spent an incredible morning in Edfu seeing the mosque as we docked, watching the horse and buggies and tuk tuks whizzing past, and exploring the amazing temple in Edfu. Our motor coach transported us to the Edfu temple where we went through security and then had a tour of the temple with some time to walk around and explore a little on our own. The Edfu Temple is dedicated to the god, Horus. We saw the birth house and passed through some of the tallest pylons in Egypt. The claim to fame for this temple is that there are carvings of the instructions for the proper way to build a temple, and I think I may have discovered the origin of WiFi!
