Private Edfu & Kom Ombo Temples Day Trip from Luxor

South of Luxor, on the road toward Aswan, two of the Nile's finest temples sit close enough to see in a single day, and most Luxor visitors miss them.At Edfu stands the Temple of Horus, the most completely preserved major temple in all of Egypt, its towering pylon, falcon statues, and dark inner sanctuary almost exactly as the builders left them 2,000 years ago. At Kom Ombo, a rare double temple honors two gods at once, Sobek the crocodile and Horus the elder, with a small museum of mummified crocodiles beside it. Your Egyptologist brings both to life.It is a comfortable day of about 5 to 7 hours, following the river south by road.Ideal for travelers who want the great Ptolemaic temples without booking a full Nile cruise.
