Day Two - Sail up to Esna and then to Edfu.

When Esna Temple was discovered it was covered by sand and a village had been built on top. It now sits in an excavated pit and is in very good condition with the roof intact and some of the the colour of the internal paintings preserved. It was built in the later Greco-Roman style with more ornate decorations on the top of the columns.

	The blue colour is clearly visible.
Edfu Temple is the best preserved temple in Egypt. Again it is in the Greco-Roman period with more ornate tops to the interior pillars. It is dedicated to the falcon god Horus, and two granite statues of Horus are found either side of the inner entrance.
