The temple is amazing and worth seeing, but it is important that you time it right. The cruise boats descend on the temple together, with hordes of people. We experienced difficulty navigating the ha…Full review by bjkahansen

Probably one of our favourite temples not just due to its size and beauty but the story behind the temple and mainly our guide. We were dropped off by our driver and met a local guide to take us aro…Full review by Vincent C

Q:
hello, can any one advise me if there's another method of getting from the boat to the temple at Edfu? I really don't want to use animal transport. The tour we're planning is actually a coach from Luxor but the tour company is saying it'll park by the boats and we'll go by horse and cart. Please can anyone advise me is there a drop off point that the coach (mini bus) can use by the temple and the caoch fetch us later? Regards

we just went there this morning from our cruise. we were not part of any tour group. as we got off the ship, a swamp of cart drivers came and offered us a round trip for 300 pounds. we refused, but they kept asking as we walked away. eventually we did the walk and jog along a route by Google maps through some small streets and village. however, the end was the back wall to the temple, where we could take good photos of the big ancient gate. there were police posts there. the police told us to turn right and around to get to the entrance. we ended up going two thirds around the temple. when we got out and thought to take the shorter way (going left) around the temple, the police at the exit said it's dangerous that way and force us to take the same way around. we wondered how dangerous it can be as we already took part of the route, but we obeyed. there were a lot of buggies surrounding us. but we ended up taking a tuktuk. he initially asked for 50 but we stayed firm with 20 and he finally agreed. when we were getting off and gave him 20, he still demanded 50 (these people often do this kind of thing). but we ignored him and walked away.
