Tour Itinerary

The day begins with a pickup from your hotel or cruise in Aswan. In an air-conditioned vehicle, you head to Edfu, 110 km away, where the Temple of Horus stands, constructed between 237 and 57 BC. This well-preserved colossus impresses with its entrance flanked by falcon statues and a 36-meter hypostyle hall. The reliefs, explained by the guide, depict Horus’ battle against Set, with detailed rituals engraved on sandstone walls. The sanctuary chamber, featuring its granite altar, evokes the power of the sky god, blending Egyptian and Greek architectural styles.

The journey continues to Kom Ombo, 50 km away, where the Temple of Sobek and Horus, built between 180 and 47 BC, rises along the Nile. Its dual design honors Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon. The reliefs, detailed by the guide, showcase surgical instruments and astronomical calendars. The nearby Crocodile Museum, housing 40 mummified crocodiles and Sobek worship artifacts, reveals the reverence for this deity. The temple’s symmetry and the river’s reflection create a mystical aura.

The return to Aswan, with the Nile as a companion, concludes a day where myths come to life. The temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo, stone sentinels, whisper tales of gods and pharaohs, leaving the heart filled with awe and the eyes glowing with the magic of Upper Egypt.
