2. Kom Ombo Temple

This unique Ptolemaic temple is dedicated to two gods—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder)—and is renowned for its rare symmetrical design.

   Continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of kingship and protection, the temple is closely associated with the legendary battle in which Horus avenged the murder of his father, Osiris, by defeating his uncle Seth. Built during the Ptolemaic period (332–30 BC), Edfu Temple is among the few Egyptian temples completed almost entirely according to its original design. Its towering entrance, impressive columns, and beautifully preserved inscriptions provide an extraordinary glimpse into the architecture, rituals, and religious traditions of ancient Egypt. After your guided visit, relax in the comfort of your private air-conditioned vehicle as you are transferred to your hotel, Nile cruise, airport, or preferred drop-off location in Luxor or Aswan, according to your travel itinerary.
