Edfu and Kom Ombo Day Trip from Aswan

This Edfu and Kom Ombo day trip from Aswan takes you by private car to two of the best-known temples of the Nile Valley. It lasts about nine hours, starting at 7:00 am, and you choose how much is included, from a car with driver up to guide, entry tickets and lunch.

What you will see

Kom Ombo Temple stands on a bend of the Nile and is unusual because it is a double temple. One half is dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and the other to Haroeris, a form of Horus, each with its own entrance and sanctuary.

Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is one of the most complete temples in Egypt. Built under the Ptolemies, it keeps its great pylon, courtyard, halls and roofed sanctuary, giving a clear idea of how an Egyptian temple looked in its day.

Good to know

• Guide, entry tickets and lunch at a local restaurant are included according to the option you choose.

If you are staying in Aswan and not taking a Nile cruise, this trip lets you see the main temples between Aswan and Luxor in one day.
