Detailed itinerary

1

Take a day trip from Luxor to some of Egypt's most beautiful historical sites. Enjoy free pick-up and drop-off and the services of an Egyptologist as you explore the ancient sites.

2

Driving from Luxor to Edfu is a journey through the quiet rhythms of Upper Egypt, where the modern road runs alongside landscapes that feel timeless. Leaving Luxor, the bustle of temples and traffic gradually gives way to open stretches of desert, broken by ribbons of green farmland fed by the Nile. Date palms sway over small villages, and you’ll often see farmers tending fields much as their ancestors did thousands of years ago.

As you approach Edfu, the scenery subtly shifts again. Sugarcane fields become more frequent, and the presence of the great Temple of Horus seems to announce itself before it comes into view, rising unexpectedly from the town like a stone mirage. The drive, which typically takes two to three hours, feels less like a commute and more like a passage through layers of history—linking two ancient cities that have watched travelers make this same journey for millennia.

As you walk through the massive pylons and grand halls, you’ll be surrounded by remarkably detailed carvings that tell the legendary story of Horus, the falcon-headed god, and his eternal battle with Seth. Every wall, corridor, and chamber reveals centuries of myth, ritual, and royal symbolism.

Kom Ombo Temple – A Unique Double Temple on the Nile

Discover one of Egypt’s most fascinating and unusual temples at Kom Ombo, dramatically set on a bend of the Nile River. Unlike any other temple in Egypt, Kom Ombo is a double temple, perfectly symmetrical and dedicated to two powerful gods: Sobek, the crocodile god of strength and fertility, and Horus the Elder, the god of protection and kingship.

As you explore the temple, you’ll walk through twin entrances, halls, and sanctuaries, each side telling a different story through beautifully carved reliefs. The walls reveal scenes of ancient rituals, medical instruments, and daily life, offering rare insight into the science, beliefs, and creativity of ancient Egypt.
