Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples Tour from Luxor

A Rich Cultural Journey Through Aswan, the Majestic Abu Simbel Temples, and the Twin Temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu

The 3-Day Aswan, Abu Simbel & Kom Ombo Tour is a perfect multi-day experience for travelers who want to explore Egypt’s most impressive sites in the south. This private tour covers Aswan’s historical landmarks, the breathtaking temples of Abu Simbel, and the fascinating temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, creating a balanced itinerary filled with cultural and historical highlights.

Book the tour

The first day focuses on the best of Aswan’s iconic sites. You will visit the Philae Temple, beautifully located on Agilkia Island, where elegant columns and peaceful courtyards tell the story of the goddess Isis. The tour continues with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel that reshaped modern Egypt by controlling the Nile’s flow and creating Lake Nasser. You will also explore the Unfinished Obelisk, a massive stone monument that offers rare insight into ancient quarrying techniques and the scale of Egypt’s monumental architecture.

On the second day, the tour takes you to Abu Simbel, one of the most impressive temples in Egypt. The colossal statues of Ramses II guard the entrance to the Great Temple, which is perfectly aligned to capture sunlight twice a year in a phenomenon known as the Sun Festival. Beside it stands the smaller but equally remarkable Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to the queen and the goddess Hathor. Abu Simbel is not only a masterpiece of ancient construction but also a modern engineering success, as it was carefully relocated to save it from flooding after the construction of the High Dam. This day offers an unforgettable encounter with Egypt’s royal legacy and extraordinary architectural skills.

The third day takes you on a journey to two remarkable temples along the Nile. The Temple of Kom Ombo is unique because it is dedicated to two gods—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon god. The temple features symmetrical architecture, detailed carvings, and an on-site Crocodile Museum displaying mummified crocodiles found in the area. You will also visit the Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, dedicated to Horus. Edfu’s towering entrance, massive columns, and detailed reliefs offer a vivid look into ancient religious practices and temple life.

This 3-day tour provides a complete Aswan experience, combining ancient temples, engineering wonders, and unique archaeological sites in a comfortable, private setting.
