Day Trip From Aswan To Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples
Tour Overview
Unlock Egypt’s hidden wonders with our Aswan Kom Ombo & Edfu Day Trip, a private guided journey to two of the most architecturally striking temples along the Nile.
Start your day with a scenic drive from Aswan in a private, air-conditioned vehicle as your expert Egyptologist guide brings to life the stories of gods, kings, and ancient rituals. First, visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, uniquely dedicated to two gods—Sobek the Crocodile God and Horus the Falcon. Discover the legendary medical carvings, mummified crocodiles, and Nile-side views.
Then continue to Edfu Temple, the best-preserved temple in Egypt, devoted to Horus. Towering pylons, intact sanctuaries, and a horse-drawn carriage ride (optional) make this experience feel like a step back in time.
