2. Arrive at the spectacular Kom Ombo Temple, perched on high ground overlooking the Nile. This unique Ptolemaic temple is dedicated to two gods—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder)—and is renowned for its rare symmetrical design. Explore the beautifully preserved reliefs and, if time permits, visit the nearby Crocodile Museum, home to mummified crocodiles discovered in the area. After your visit, continue with a scenic drive of approximately 2 hours to Edfu Temple.

   1 hAdmission included

3. Continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of kingship and protection, the temple is closely associated with the legendary battle in which Horus avenged the murder of his father, Osiris, by defeating his uncle Seth. Built during the Ptolemaic period (332–30 BC), Edfu Temple is among the few Egyptian temples completed almost entirely according to its original design. Its towering entrance, impressive columns, and beautifully preserved inscriptions provide an extraordinary glimpse into the architecture, rituals, and religious traditions of ancient Egypt. After your guided visit, relax in the comfort of your private air-conditioned vehicle as you are transferred to your hotel, Nile cruise, airport, or preferred drop-off location in Luxor or Aswan, according to your travel itinerary.

About Aswan

Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.

The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
