Begin your tour with pickup from your hotel lobby in Aswan, then set off toward Kom Ombo with your private Egyptologist. Enjoy your guide’s complete attention throughout the day, and hear about the history of Egypt’s impressive sights as you make your way to your first destination.
Upon arrival at the Temple of Kom Ombo, peek out over the River Nile from the high ground of the temple. Learn about the unique history of this sandstone structure, which differs from other temples in Egypt as it honors two deities: Haroeris or Horus, the falcon head, and Sobek, the crocodile head, the god of fertility, and the creator of the world.
Next, proceed to the ancient city of Edfu with a 1-hour drive to witness the Temple of Horus. Edfu Temple is considered to be the most well-preserved temple in Egypt, and according to Egyptian mythology, it’s where the falcon-headed god Horus murdered Seth as revenge for the death of his father, Osiris.
