Edfu & Kom Ombo Day Trip Itinerary

After pickup from your hotel or boat in Luxor, you will head south along the River Nile towards Upper Egypt. The first stop is at Edfu, where you will visit the Temple of Horus. The temple's columns feature inscriptions revealing legends about the falcon-headed deity, including details of the temple's construction and the conflict between Horus and Seth. After lunch at a local restaurant in Edfu, you will proceed to Kom Ombo. This temple, dedicated to two deities, Sobek and Haroeris, is notable for its impressive hypostyle hall filled with intricately carved columns. Adjacent to the temple is the Crocodile Museum, showcasing mummified crocodiles considered sacred in Ancient Egypt. The tour concludes with a return to Luxor, approximately 10 hours after pickup.
