Day Trip to Kom Ombo and Edfu from Aswan

At 7:00 am, Nile Empire Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and transfer by Private A/C Vehicle to Edfu around 2 hours driving north of Aswan. Arrival in Edfu, where you can visit the majestic Temple of Edfu that is dedicated to Horus, which is considered by most to be the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt.

According to the Egyptian myths, it was the place where the falcon-headed god Horus revenged the murder of his father Osiris by killing Seth.

Then continue your day tour to Kom Ombo, which the temple is standing on high ground overlooking the Nile. It differs from other temples because of its double entrance; each one is dedicated to divinity: “Haroeris” with his falcon head and “Sobek” with his crocodile head. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built in the honor of two deities, the crocodile-headed Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world, and Haroeris, or the ancient falcon-headed Horus. Also, Kom Ombo’s importance lies in its huge sugar-cane.

You will be escorted back to your hotel in Aswan by your private air-conditioned vehicle.
