Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Trip

Journey north along the Nile from Aswan to discover two of Egypt's most remarkable and well-preserved temples. First visit Kom Ombo, a unique double temple dedicated to two gods — Sobek the crocodile god and Horus the Elder. The temple sits dramatically on a promontory overlooking the Nile, and its adjacent Crocodile Museum houses mummified crocodiles found in the area. Continue to Edfu, home of the Temple of Horus, the best-preserved temple in all of Egypt. Built over 180 years during the Ptolemaic period, this massive temple is virtually complete, with towering pylons, detailed wall reliefs, and a magnificent hypostyle hall. Walking through its dark inner chambers feels like stepping back in time. Enjoy lunch at a Nile-side restaurant between temple visits.
