Esna temple is one of the smallest temples you will visit because all you can see today is the hall of columns while the rest of it is still underneath the modern town; that’s why it’s quite interesting so see how much mud had been accumulating due to the Nile flood and covered the temple for about 30 feet (9 meters).

That hypostyle hall counts among the most beautiful in all Egypt with all the well-preserved colors especially after the recent restoration.

Located about 35 miles (60 km) south of Luxor.
Opens daily 8 a.m – 5 p.m
A few minutes walk from the cruise ship. Also possible to arrange a visit by road from Luxor.
