Trip Summary

Travel south from Luxor to explore two remarkable Ptolemaic temples: the falcon-god Horus Temple in Edfu and the unique dual temple of Sobek and Haroeris at Kom Ombo.

Overview

Journey along the Nile Valley between Luxor and Aswan to visit two of Egypt's most fascinating ancient monuments. Your private tour begins at Edfu, home to the remarkably intact Temple of Horus, the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. Continue south to Kom Ombo to discover a unique double temple dedicated symmetrically to two deities: Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris the falcon god. Guided by an expert Egyptologist, this full-day excursion bridges the gap between Luxor's history and Aswan's Greco-Roman treasures.
