This was an unusual temple because it is on the
West Bank which is usually reserved for tombs (sunset) with
the East Bank used for temples.
It was buried in sand for thousands of years and so
is very well preserved.
The boat had arrived at the dock during the night and
we headed out early in the morning past the picture of Mubarak
took the obligatory phone booth pictures
and reached the bazaar
outside the temple.
The outside walls were impressive
