ÜBERSICHT
Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and transfer you by private A/C vehicle to Edfu, around 2 hours driving north of Aswan. Arrival in Edfu, where you can visit the majestic Temple of Edfu that is dedicated to Horus, is considered by most to be the best preserved cult temple in Egypt. According to Egyptian myths, it was the place where the falcon-headed god Horus revenged the murder of his father Osiris by killing Seth. Lunch will be boxed. Then continue your day tour to Kom Ombo, Arrival. Kom Ombo transfers to see the Temple of Kom Ombo standing on high grounds overlooking the Nile. It differs from other temples because of its double entrance; each one is dedicated to divinity: “Haroeris” with his falcon head and “Sobek” with his crocodile head. The Temple of Kom Ombo was built in honor of two deities: the crocodile-headed Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world, and Haroeris, or the ancient falcon-headed Horus. Also, Kom Ombo’s importance lies in its huge sugar cane. Then, around 16:30 pm, transfer back to your hotel in Aswan.
