As you explore with your guide, the unexpectedly vibrant colours of the well-preserved hieroglyphics lining the tombs will stand out.

It's another early start today as you get up for a morning exploration of the Temple of Edfu. This sanctuary is considered to be one of the best preserved temples in Egypt, likely because it lay buried under a protective layer of sand until it was excavated by French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette in the 1860s.
