Egypt 8-31-15

We began today in Edfu with a visit to the Temple of Horus. We were limited to our choices of transportation to the temple. With so few cars on the road the mode of transportation was a horse drawn carriage. After visiting the temple, we set sail to Kom Ombo and visited a temple dedicated to two of their gods, Sobek and Haroeris. Also included is a picture of the riverboat I traveled on.
