Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples Tour

Your Cairo Top Tours-certified guide will greet you at your hotel lobby in Aswan to begin the journey to Kom Ombo and Edfu. This popular excursion from our selection of Aswan Day Trips within Egypt day tours includes a comfortable drive with a restroom stop on the way to Edfu. Upon arrival, you’ll explore the magnificent temple dedicated to the falcon god Horus, renowned as the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. According to legend, this is where Horus avenged his father Osiris's death by defeating his uncle Seth.

The temple walls are adorned with inscriptions that offer significant insights into ancient Egyptian mythology, religion, and daily life during its era.

Next, you’ll visit the Kom Ombo Temple, constructed between 1350 and 180 B.C. by order of Ramses II. Situated on the Nile's banks in the town of Kom Ombo, this temple honours Sobek, the crocodile-headed god, though the locals later shifted their worship to Haroeris, preferring not to venerate a malevolent deity.

After touring these historic sites, you’ll be transported back to your hotel in Aswan, concluding your Kom Ombo and Edfu adventure.
