From Luxor- Private Day Trip to Edfu and Kom Ombo

About this activity

Admire the Temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo, two of Egypt’s most important and historic buildings. Travel within and between the cities in a contemporary air-conditioned car as you explore the sandstone temples with your personal Egyptologist.

The Temple of Horus at Edfu and the Temple of Kom Ombo are two spectacular temples that may be seen on a full-day private tour departing from Luxor with a qualified professional guide. You can decide to end your journey in Aswan or head back to Luxor at the end of the day. Begin your trip to Edfu by meeting your driver/guide in the foyer of your Luxor hotel. Get your guide complete attention while you travel and be informed with stories from Egypt’s ancient mythology to pique your interest and deepen your comprehension. When you arrive in Edfu, take in an exciting tour of the Temple of Horus. Admire the impressive sandstone buildings of Horus, the god of protection, at the best-preserved sacred site in Egypt. Explore the location where Horus sought retribution against Seth, the god of chaos, for killing his father, Osiris, in line with Egyptian mythology. Drive for 1.5 hours to the Temple of Kom Ombo, which was constructed in adoration of the holy deities and has a view of the east bank of the Nile. Learn about the temple’s architectural features and how the crocodile-headed fertility god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Horus, also known as Haroeris, were honoured in its construction. It will be time for lunch in the city of Aswan after spending a wonderful hour exploring the temple. Depending on the tour option you choose, you will either be dropped off at your hotel in Aswan or depart for your return trip to your lodging in Luxor.
