Details
This immersive full-day excursion takes you to two of Upper Egypt’s most iconic ancient sites along the Nile. Begin with a scenic drive north to Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. Marvel at the towering columns, sacred chambers, and mythological reliefs that tell stories of ancient battles between Horus and Seth.
Continue your journey along the Nile to Kom Ombo, a rare double temple uniquely devoted to two gods—Sobek (god of crocodiles and fertility) and Horus the Elder. This symmetrical temple is filled with intricate carvings, mummified crocodiles, and a beautiful riverside location.
