Overview

Day Trip to Kom Ombo and Edfu From Luxor

This full-day tour departs from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship and travels south to visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu and the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris at Kom Ombo. It is the only full-day tour from Luxor built purely around these two temples, without continuing to an overnight stay in Aswan. The tour runs approximately 9 hours, returning you to your Luxor hotel or cruise ship the same day.

A Private modern vehicle picks you up from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship in the morning and drives south to Edfu to visit the Temple of Horus. The group breaks for lunch at a local restaurant before the vehicle continues south to Kom Ombo to visit the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris, then returns north to Luxor. Those interested in expanding their journey may also consider a Day tour to Aswan from Luxor as an alternative experience, ideal for exploring Aswan’s major temples and river landmarks in greater depth.

No other Luxor day tour stops at Edfu and Kom Ombo as a standalone southern excursion; travelers who want to continue further south to Aswan itself will find that route covered on a separate tour page, and those who prefer the northern temples at Dendera and Abydos will find that pairing on another page as well. Travelers planning a broader itinerary often compare this experience with other Luxor day excursion options.
