What to expect

  1. Aswan
    Pass by
    Begin your journey with pickup from your hotel, Nile cruise, airport, or any location in Aswan. Accompanied by your expert Egyptologist guide, travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle to explore the magnificent temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, two of Upper Egypt's best-preserved ancient landmarks.
  2. Kom Ombo Temple
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Arrive at the spectacular Kom Ombo Temple, perched on high ground overlooking the Nile. This unique Ptolemaic temple is dedicated to two gods—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder)—and is renowned for its rare symmetrical design. Explore the beautifully preserved reliefs and, if time permits, visit the nearby Crocodile Museum, home to mummified crocodiles discovered in the area. After your visit, continue with a scenic drive of approximately 2 hours to Edfu Temple.
  3. Edfu Temple
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of kingship and protection, the temple is closely associated with the legendary battle in which Horus avenged the murder of his father, Osiris, by defeating his uncle Seth.

    Built during the Ptolemaic period (332–30 BC), Edfu Temple is among the few Egyptian temples completed almost entirely according to its original design. Its towering entrance, impressive columns, and beautifully preserved inscriptions provide an extraordinary glimpse into the architecture, rituals, and religious traditions of ancient Egypt.

    After your guided visit, relax in the comfort of your private air-conditioned vehicle as you are transferred to your hotel, Nile cruise, airport, or preferred drop-off location in Luxor or Aswan, according to your travel itinerary.
