C'est Magnifique
Temple of Khnum的点评
点评：Using the words of the Frenchman standing next to me as I gawped at the ceiling... Somehow C'est magnifique' has more emotion to it than English.
Esna is a bit off the standard route map from Luxor, even though Nile cruises stop at Esna it is usually only to go through the lock gates, and I can understand why it is a bit off the beaten track, it is only a small site and a whole boatload of tourists would overwhelm it! The site is about 1.5 hours from Luxor by road, passing through farming landscapes and traditional villages on the way, market day in one of them made my journey a little longer than usual.
Small, but beautifully marked is an expression to use here, there are many feature to look out for in this Roman period temple.
Some interesting ancient inscriptions on the walls including one that asks that visitors should not have had sex for several days before entering the temple, and more usually, an exhortation to wash our hands before entering!
After buying a ticket you cross the road and access to the site is via a ''shopping arcade'', how unusual is that for a site in Egypt!! Not!! Mainly run of the mill stuff on sale if you really want it, but I did spot some slightly unusual ceramics and art in a couple of the shops.
Just a taster in the way of photos, I don't want to give too much away..
Something to look out for is the 'zodiac ceiling'!!
The carvings throughout are some of the finest that I have seen anywhere in Egypt
Access to the temple is by steps, 45 of them in fact.... There are lifts/elevators but they seem to be recently installed and not working.
There are also a couple of buildings nearby that are worthy of a photograph.
Avoid the cafe just outside the arcade entrance, a few metres to the north of the arcade. It is tourist trap that want 5 US$ for a cup of tea and use of the toilet such as it is. I got my driver to pay for mine but it still cost me US$2 which is a lot more than the average 50 cents!!

翻译：当我目瞪口呆地看着天花板时，用站在我旁边的法国人的话来说...不知何故，“C'est magnifique”比英语更能表达情感。
埃斯纳与卢克索的标准路线图有些不同，尽管尼罗河游轮在埃斯纳停留，但通常只是为了通过闸门，我能理解为什么它有点偏僻，它只是一个小景点，一船游客就会淹没它！从卢克索出发，大约需要 1.5 小时的车程，途中经过农耕景观和传统村庄，其中一个村庄的集市日让我的旅程比平时长了一点。
这里用“小而标记精美”来表达，这座罗马时期的神庙有很多值得关注的特色。
墙上有一些有趣的古代铭文，其中包括要求游客在进入神庙前几天不要发生性行为，更常见的是劝告我们在进入前洗手！
买完票后，穿过马路，通过“购物商场”进入该遗址，这对于埃及的遗址来说是多么不寻常啊！！不！！如果你真的想要的话，主要出售普通的东西，但我确实在几家商店里发现了一些略显不寻常的陶瓷和艺术品。
只是通过照片来品尝，我不想透露太多。
值得一看的是“十二宫天花板”！！
整个雕刻是我在埃及任何地方见过的最精美的雕刻之一
进入寺庙需要走楼梯，实际上有 45 级台阶……有电梯，但它们似乎是最近安装的，无法正常工作。
附近还有几栋值得拍照的建筑。
避免去拱廊入口外的咖啡馆，它位于拱廊以北几米处。这是一个旅游陷阱，一杯茶和使用厕所要花 5 美元。我让我的司机付了钱，但仍然花了我 2 美元，比平均 50 美分贵多了！！
