Early morning our Egyptologist tour guide will be met to pick you up in a private A/C vehicle from your accommodation
Heading directly to Edfu, and visiting the Temple of Horus, this is dedicated to the falcon-headed god of the sky. This temple was built in 230 BC by Ptolemy III, and it is amazingly well-preserved and colorful. The temple reveals what temple worship in ancient Egypt was like and it is a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Lunch will be served in a high quality local restaurant.
The day tour will be preceded by Kom Ombo. Kom Ombo is known as the “hill of gold,” and it is home to a Greco-Roman temple dedicated to Haroeris (the sun god) and Sobek (the crocodile god). Sobek was a popular god in ancient Egypt, and he was sometimes considered the creator of the world. In the temple, you can see mummified remains of several crocodiles that once basket along the ancient Nile shore, just as their descendants do today.
Later, the Egyptologist and the private vehicle will drop you off your accommodation in Luxor.
