Itinerary
-
Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple
- At 7:00 am, a guide will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor and transfer you by private A/C vehicle to Edfu, around 50 minutes drive 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 the Egyptian myths, it was where the falcon-headed god Horus revived 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 rituals because of its double entrance; each is dedicated to 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. Also, Kom Ombo's importance lies in its huge sugar cane.
- Then, around 4:30 p.m., transfer back to your hotel in Luxor. A knowledgeable private guide will accompany you the whole Tour until you return to Luxor.
