Enjoy a full day Guided tour with our expert Egyptologist to explore Edfu Temple & Kom Ombo Temple both dating back to the Ptolemaic period, are the two most popular landmarks in between Luxor and Aswan. Edfu is widely regarded as Egypt’s very best-preserved temple, and it was intimately tied with the important Horus myth. Kom Ombo, meanwhile, is a laidback riverside temple dedicated to the mysterious crocodile god, Sobek.
After Picking up from the hotel by our Egyptologist guide you will drive 105 KM to south of Luxor on the agriculture road and pass by the green planted fields including banana, mango, and sugar cane plant to reach Edfu is arguably the best-preserved temple in all of Egypt. Except for the missing color, no imagination is required to picture how this ancient temple originally looked. Construction on Edfu Temple began in the Ptolemaic era in 237 BC. It was finally finished a couple centuries later in 57 BC, shortly before the Romans took control of Egypt. Therefore, this is one of the few temples in Egypt that was both started and completed by the Ptolemies.
Drive back to south 55 KM to visit Kom Ombo city and its temple standing on high grounds overlooking the Nile. It differs from other temples because of its double entrance, each one is dedicated to divinity: " Horus " with his falcon head and " Sobek " with his crocodile head.
After that Enjoy your lunch and drive back to Luxor.
