Edfu and Kom Ombo from Luxor

An “Egypt Fun Tours” representative will pick you up from your hotel in Luxor. You will then begin your tour.

Edfu Temple

You will visit the majestic Edfu Temple, dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus. Most consider this to be the best-preserved cult temple in Egypt. According to Egyptian myths, it was the place where Horus avenged his father Osiris’s murder by killing Seth.

Lunch and Kom Ombo Temple

After visiting Edfu, you will have lunch at a local restaurant. Then, you will transfer to the Kom Ombo Temple, which stands on high ground overlooking the Nile.

The Kom Ombo Temple is unique because of its double entrance. Each side is dedicated to a different deity. One side honors “Haroeris,” represented by a falcon head. The other side honors “Sobek,” who has a crocodile head. Builders constructed the temple in honor of these two deities: Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility and creator of the world, and Haroeris, the ancient falcon-headed Horus. Kom Ombo also has large sugar cane fields. Finally, a representative will transfer you back to your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor.
