Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples Day Trip

Price Starting From : $80

This full-day excursion takes you on a fascinating river journey from Luxor to two exceptional ancient temple sites along the Nile. In the morning your guide will transport you from your hotel for the scenic drive north.

Your first stop will be the town of Edfu, home to the magnificent Temple of Horus. Dedicated to the falcon-headed god, it is considered one of Egypt's best-preserved sanctuaries. Adjoining carvings and sculptures provide insights into religious practices.

Next, you'll visit the Temple of Kom Ombo on a hillside overlooking the river. Unique for being dedicated to both the falcon god Horus and the crocodile deity Sobek, its distinct dual architecture is impressive. Taking in the views adds to the experience.

Your guide will share illuminating details at each site to enhance your cultural understanding. Transport is included between Luxor, Edfu and Kom Ombo so you can relax and fully immerse in the historical surroundings. This comprehensive tour offers the rare chance to explore two strikingly intact river valley temples.

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.
