Apparently I should have a ticket from Edfu at a cost of LE500! But I did not want to buy the pyramid, and had already taken a couple of general photographs, so we beat a retreat. The local children decided to throw a couple of stones at the car. Friendly bunch!
Who sets such stupid prices? It is not as if there is anything hiding, the photographs below are probably as good as it gets. They are from the north and east sides.
Afterwards, we drove past Hierakonpolis. There is nothing to be seen from the road and as it was not yet time for Friday Prayers we decided not to attempt a visit.
