- Temple of Horus - Upon arrival in Edfu, you can explore the magnificent Temple of Edfu. This temple is one of the most impressive and well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples, dedicated to the god Horus. Located on the western bank of the Nile, its construction began during the reign of Ptolemy III (246–221 BC) in 237 BC and was completed during the reign of Ptolemy XII (80–51 BC) in 57 BC, taking 180 years to finish.
- Temple of Kom Ombo - Continue your tour to Kom Ombo, approximately a 45-minute drive from Edfu. Upon arrival in Kom Ombo, you will visit the Kom Ombo Temple. The name ‘Kom Ombo’ comes from the Arabic word ‘kum’ meaning ‘mound’ and ‘Ombo’ derived from the ancient Egyptian ‘Nubt,’ meaning ‘the golden city.’ The temple is dedicated to two deities: the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris (Horus the Elder). Although an earlier temple existed here during the New Kingdom (c. 1550–1069 BC), the current structure was built during the Graeco-Roman Period (332 BC–395 AD). The earliest royal name found in the temple is that of Ptolemy VI Philometor (180–145 BC), with most of the decoration completed by Ptolemy XII Neos Dionysos (80–51 BC).
- Aswan - Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Luxor.
