The ship pulled up to Edfu, but we had to wait to dock because there were many cruise ships there. As they began to leave, we were able to dock and meet our bus to the Temple. We were the only tour group there!
This is the Temple of Horus, the falcon headed god.
Our tour leader, Mohammad, gave a talk about the recent history of Egypt. He told us about the history that led to the protests of the Arab Spring and how little difference it made has made in the current government.
This afternoon the crew put up the sails to show us how the old dahabeya’s sailed. It was fun to watch. Unfortunately there was too much wind and they had to take them down right away.
The crew surprised us with dinner at Fauaza where we docked for the night. It was delightful with traditional Egyptian cuisine.
