Journey north from Aswan to two of Egypt's most spectacular and intact Ptolemaic temples — the crocodile-god sanctuary at Kom Ombo and the towering Horus temple at Edfu — on a fully private day trip with an Egyptologist.
What to expect
Your driver and Egyptologist collect you from the port and head north along the Nile's east bank. At Kom Ombo, explore the dual temple dedicated to Sobek and Haroeris, with its remarkable ancient surgical instruments displayed in the crocodile museum. Continue to Edfu's immense Temple of Horus — one of the best-preserved in Egypt — before returning to Aswan by late afternoon.
Good to know
Full day: depart 08:00, return by 17:00. Kom Ombo entry approx. EGP 360 (USD 7); Edfu entry approx. EGP 450 (USD 9). Book directly to ensure a qualified Egyptologist (not just a driver). Confirm all-aboard time before booking — this tour fits most Aswan port days comfortably.
