Itinerary
We'll start with about a 1.5 hour drive upriver to Edfu. The Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is remarkably well-preserved from ancient times. Constructed between 237-57 BC, it should give us a real sense of what these sites were like.
Afterwards we'll head to Kom Ombo, known for its unique "double temple" honoring both the crocodile god Sobek and other deities. From its cliffside perch overlooking the Nile, the views should be stunning too.
Our guide is making lunch arrangements at a local restaurant so we can truly experience the area. Then we'll drive back to Luxor, having learned so much about these cultures that created such incredible monuments.

The Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples in Egypt are renowned for their unique and well-preserved examples of ancient Egyptian temple architecture.

The Kom Ombo Temple, a double temple dedicated to Sobek and Horus the Elder, is divided into two symmetrical sections with their own entrances, halls, and sanctuaries. The temple also houses a museum showcasing artifacts.
The official currency of Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). In Luxor, you will find ATMs where you can withdraw Egyptian Pounds, and many businesses also accept major credit cards or American Dollars (USD). It is advisable to carry some cash for smaller purchases or when visiting local markets.
