Day Trip to Kom Ombo and Edfu from Aswan to Luxor

Early morning pickup from your hotel in Aswan by an air-conditioned car
that will take you to see the Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to
the crocodile god Sobek. The temple, dating to the Ptolemies, is built
on a high dune overlooking the Nile. Ptolemy VI Philometor started
building the actual temple in the early second century BC. Ptolemy XIII
built the outer and inner hypostyle halls. The outer enclosure wall and a
part of the court were built by Augustus sometime after 30 BC, and are
mostly gone. There are also tombs from the Old Kingdom in the vicinity
of Kom Ombo village. After this temple you will drive to Edfu on the
East side of the Nile. In Edfu you will visit the Temple of Horus, which
is dedicated to the god Horus, the falcon-headed god. This relatively
young pharaonic temple is well-preserved and therefore very impressive.

After touring the temples you will be transferred to Luxor by an air-conditioned vehicle.
