Edfu & Kom Ombo Day Trip

Intricately carved reliefs, mummified crocodiles and a unique double sanctuary: discover the Ancient Egyptian temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo on this guided day trip from Luxor.

Edfu & Kom Ombo Day Trip Itinerary

After being picked up from your hotel or boat in Luxor, you will follow the course of the River Nile south toward Upper Egypt.

The first stop on your guided excursion will be Edfu, where you will visit the Temple of Horus. Learn about the legends surrounding this falcon-headed deity through the inscriptions carved into the columns of the temple. The hieroglyphs depict scenes of the legendary conflict between Horus and Seth and provide insights into the temple's construction.

After lunch at a local restaurant in Edfu, you will continue to Kom Ombo. Here, you will visit a unique temple dedicated to two deities: Sobek and Haroeris. Inside, you will find an impressive hypostyle hall with elaborately engraved columns.

Next to the temple is the Crocodile Museum, which houses mummified reptiles considered sacred in Ancient Egypt.

At the end of your guided tour, you will return to Luxor, arriving 10 hours after the initial pickup.
