Luxor via Edfu & Kom Ombo Temples
Travel overland to Luxor, stopping to visit two of Egypt’s most impressive temples along the way. At Edfu, explore the Temple of Horus, one of the best-preserved temples from the Ptolemaic era, with towering walls, intricately carved reliefs, and a grand courtyard dedicated to the falcon-headed god. The site offers a glimpse into ancient Egyptian religious practices and architectural brilliance. Continue to Kom Ombo, a unique double temple dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder. Admire the symmetry of the structure, the detailed carvings depicting medical practices and daily life, and the remains of mummified crocodiles housed in the nearby museum. Arrive in Luxor by evening and settle in for an overnight stay, ready to explore the historical treasures of the city the following day.
