Wonderful and insightful day - We had a great sightseeing tour with our family of 5 with Emo tours. We visited the Kom Ombo and Edfu temples from Aswan. Emad Aiad was our tour guide who made the day a wonderful experience for all of us. Him being a teacher as well in a school in Aswan, we could clearly see he's a great teacher, being able to keep everyone very interested to know more and understand the ruins we were visiting better. If you can have Emad as a guide, we'd recommend him highly. We had the pleasure to close the day with a visit to the tombs nearby the Edfu temple.
