What You Can Expect

In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in central Luxor or harbor by an air-conditioned vehicle.

First you will be transported to Kom Ombo where you will visit the Temple of Kom Ombo. The temple is a double Temple built on a high dune overlooking the Nile. The Temple of Kom Ombo which has a symmetrical construction; two entrances, two sanctuaries, and a line of symmetry that divides the temple into the domains of Haroeris the falcon and Sobek the crocodile. The temple was built in the early second century by Ptolemy VI Philometor.

After this temple you will go to Edfu to visit the Temple of Edfu which is dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. This is quite a young temple and is well-preserved making it very impressive.
