Overview
Private Tour to Kom Ombo and Edfu From Aswan
This full-day private tour departs Aswan hotels for two Ptolemaic-era temples on the Nile: Kom Ombo, shared between the gods Sobek and Horus, and Edfu, Egypt’s best-preserved Temple of Horus. It is the only Aswan day tour that pairs these two sites in a single private car itinerary. The round trip takes about 8 hours.

First stop: Kom Ombo Temple, the double temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek on one side and the falcon god Horus on the other. Lunch: a stop at a local restaurant for an Egyptian meal follows the Kom Ombo visit. Second stop: Edfu Temple, the Temple of Horus, reached by the same private vehicle continuing south. Drop-off: the return drive to Aswan hotels closes the day.
