This Edfu and Kom Ombo day trip from Luxor drives you south along the Nile to two temples usually seen from a cruise boat. The private tour lasts about 8 hours, with an early pickup from your hotel and a private air-conditioned vehicle.

It is a good option if you are staying in Luxor without a Nile cruise but still want to see the temples between Luxor and Aswan. Guides are available in English, Spanish and German.

What you will see

  • Temple of Horus at Edfu – a Ptolemaic temple dedicated to the falcon god Horus and one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, with its towering pylon and enclosed sanctuary still intact.
  • Temple of Kom Ombo – an unusual double temple on the riverbank, with one half dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the other to Haroeris, a form of Horus.

Good to know

You can choose between car with driver only, car and guide, car with guide and entry tickets, or the full option with a lunch box. Bottled water, service charges and taxes are part of every option.

Because of the distance, the day starts early in the morning. Bring a hat, sunscreen and something to read or a playlist for the drive. Kom Ombo sits right on the Nile, so it is a nice place for photos of the river.
