Itinerary
Your Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel or selected location in Luxor and accompany you on a full-day journey to two of Upper Egypt's finest temples.
Upon arrival in Edfu, meet your Egyptologist guide and travel to the magnificent Temple of Edfu by vehicle. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god, this remarkable sanctuary is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt and stands on the legendary site where Horus defeated Seth to avenge the death of his father, Osiris. Built during the Ptolemaic Period (332–30 BC), the temple impresses visitors with its massive entrance pylons, grand courtyards, beautifully preserved halls, and intricate carvings depicting religious rituals, festivals, and scenes from ancient Egyptian mythology. Your guide will explain the temple's fascinating history, symbolism, and architectural significance, bringing its ancient stories to life. After your guided tour and free time to explore and take photographs, continue your journey along the Nile Valley to your next destination, carrying with you unforgettable memories of one of Egypt's most iconic and remarkably preserved ancient temples.
Continue to the remarkable Kom Ombo Temple, beautifully set on high ground overlooking the Nile River. This unique double temple is dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god of fertility and protection, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder), the falcon-headed god of kingship. Admire its rare symmetrical layout, featuring twin entrances, courts, halls, and sanctuaries designed for each deity. Built during the Ptolemaic period, the temple is renowned for its beautifully preserved reliefs, impressive columns, and fascinating ancient carvings, including one of the earliest depictions of surgical instruments. Continue to the nearby Crocodile Museum to see a remarkable collection of mummified crocodiles and artifacts connected to the worship of Sobek. After your visit, relax on a comfortable transfer to your hotel in Aswan or return to Luxor, marking the end of your memorable journey.

About Luxor
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.
On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
