Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples Tour from Aswan – A Journey into Egypt’s Sacred Past

Begin your day with an early morning pick-up by your professional Flying Carpet Tours guide, who will accompany you on an unforgettable Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples Tour from Aswan. Travel in comfort as you explore two of the most iconic and historically rich temples in Upper Egypt.

Your first destination is the remarkable Temple of Kom Ombo, perched on the banks of the Nile. Built in the early second century BC by Ptolemy VI Philometor, this unique structure is a dual temple dedicated to both Sobek, the Crocodile God, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). Stroll through its twin halls and admire the beautifully carved pillars, each telling stories of ancient pharaohs and sacred rituals. Nearby, discover tombs dating back to the Old Kingdom, tucked away beside Kom Ombo Village, offering even more historical depth to your experience.

Next, continue to the impressive Temple of Edfu, dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. Often considered the best-preserved temple in Egypt, it’s also the second largest after Karnak. As you pass through its monumental gateway, you'll be captivated by the towering columns adorned with stunning images of Hathor and Horus, surrounded by vivid scenes of myth and ceremony.

Your Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples Tour concludes with a scenic drive back to your hotel in Aswan, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for the myths, architecture, and timeless beauty of ancient Egypt.
