Itinerary
After breakfast at 07:00, you will begin your day tour from your Luxor hotel. Your tour guide will meet you there and accompany you to the Temple of Edfu. This impressive temple is dedicated to the god Horus and is widely regarded as the most well-preserved cult temple in all of Egypt. Legend has it that this was the very place where the falcon-headed deity Horus avenged the death of his father Osiris by slaying Seth.
After exploring the Temple of Edfu, the next stop on your tour will be the city of Kom Ombo. Here, you will visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, situated on a high plateau with stunning views of the Nile. This temple stands out from others because it features a unique double entrance, with one entrance dedicated to the god Haroeris with his falcon head, and the other to Sobek, the god with the head of a crocodile. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built in honor of these two deities, with Sobek being revered as the god of fertility and the creator of the world, while Haroeris was considered to be an ancient incarnation of Horus. In addition to its religious significance, the Temple of Kom Ombo is also notable for its vast sugar cane fields.

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.
