Discover the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo on a private tour from Aswan, accompanied by your own Egyptologist guide. Sit back in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle as you journey to these two remarkably preserved temples and receive personalized attention from your guide throughout the visit. Explore the riverside site of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to both the falcon and crocodile deities, and marvel at Edfu, which is regarded as the best-preserved ancient sanctuary in Egypt.
Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan. You will embark on a one-hour journey in your private air-conditioned vehicle from Aswan to Kom Ombo.
Begin your exploration of the unique double temple dedicated to Haroeris, the falcon god, and Sobek, the crocodile god, located in Kom Ombo. This temple was constructed during Egypt's Greco-Roman period.
Take in the remarkable carved depictions of the ancient Egyptian calendar and medical instruments, before visiting the crocodile museum, which features around 300 crocodile mummies on display.
Drive for nearly two more hours to Edfu City, where you'll explore the Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. This temple is the most well-preserved and complete of all Egyptian temples. It was built during the Ptolemaic period, between 237 and 57 BC, which lasted from 332 to 30 BC.
Once your visit is complete, you will be taken back to your hotel in Aswan
