Itinerary

Your Aswan adventure begins with a warm greeting from your certified Cairo Top Tours guide, who will meet you at your hotel lobby to embark on an unforgettable day tour to the renowned temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu.

Your first stop is the town of Edfu, where you'll visit the majestic temple dedicated to the falcon god, Horus. This temple is considered one of the best-preserved cult temples in all of Egypt, featuring rich inscriptions that provide invaluable insights into the ancient Egyptian era in which it was built. Delve into the captivating myth of the goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus, as you explore the temple's magnificent halls and courtyards.

Next, you'll journey to the Temple of Kom Ombo, located along the banks of the Nile River. This impressive temple, built between 1350 and 180 B.C. under the orders of Ramses II, is dedicated to the crocodile-headed god, Sobek. However, the local people later replaced the deity with the figure of Haroeris, as they were not fond of worshipping an evil deity.

Throughout the tour, you'll be accompanied by your expert guide, who will share fascinating details about the temples' architecture, mythology, religion, and the way of life in ancient Egypt. Your day will be filled with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the enduring legacy of this remarkable civilization.
