Trip Summary

Journey north from Aswan to discover two of the Nile’s most remarkable Greco-Roman monuments: the beautifully preserved Temple of Horus in Edfu and the unique double Temple of Sobek and Haroeris in Kom Ombo.

Overview

Step back into the Ptolemaic era with a full-day guided excursion from Aswan to the iconic temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu. Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise ship in Aswan. Travelling north through the Egyptian countryside, your first stop is Kom Ombo, perched on a scenic bend of the Nile.

Here, explore the unique double temple dedicated equally to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, Horus the Elder. Admire the ancient surgical instrument reliefs and visit the Crocodile Museum next door. Afterward, continue further north to Edfu to visit the Temple of Horus—one of Egypt's most impeccably preserved ancient sanctuaries. Walk through massive pylons, grand hypostyle halls, and detailed reliefs detailing the mythological battle between Horus and Seth before your return transfer to Aswan.
