Luxor to Edfu and Kom Ombo Temple Tour

At 7:00 am, your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor and transfer you by private A/C vehicle to Edfu, around 50 minutes south of Luxor.
Arrive in Edfu, where you can visit the majestic Temple of Edfu, dedicated to Horus and considered the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. According to Egyptian myths, this was where the falcon-headed god Horus avenged the murder of his father, Osiris, by killing Seth.
Then, continue your day tour to Kom Ombo, a 45-minute drive from Edfu.
Arrive in Kom Ombo and transfer to see the Temple of Kom Ombo, standing on high grounds overlooking the Nile. It differs from other temples because of its double entrance, each dedicated to a divinity: Haroeris with his falcon head and Sobek with his crocodile head. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built in honour of two deities: the crocodile-headed Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world, and Haroeris, or the ancient falcon-headed Horus. Kom Ombo is also known for its huge sugar cane.
Then, around 4:30 pm, transfer back to your hotel in Luxor. A knowledgeable private guide will accompany you throughout the tour until you return to Luxor.
