Itinerary

Stop 1: Edfu Temple
Your day begins with a 6:00 AM pickup from your Luxor hotel, Nile cruise, or airport. Travel south in a private air-conditioned vehicle to the city of Edfu, where you'll explore the well-preserved Temple of Horus. Built during the Ptolemaic period (237–57 BC), this impressive structure provides key insights into ancient Egyptian myths, religion, and language.

Duration: Approximately 2 hours

Stop 2: Kom Ombo Temple
Continue your journey to Kom Ombo to visit its extraordinary double temple. Built during the Ptolemaic dynasty, the temple is dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, the falcon-headed god. Marvel at its unique twin design, featuring duplicate sanctuaries, halls, and courtyards for the two deities.

Duration: Approximately 1.5 hours

Stop 3: Philae Temple
Upon arriving in Aswan, enjoy a traditional Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant. Afterward, head to Philae Island to visit the majestic Philae Temple, originally located at the First Cataract of the Nile. Relocated to save it from flooding during the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the temple is a masterpiece dedicated to the goddess Isis.

Duration: Approximately 2 hours

Stop 4: Aswan High Dam
Conclude your sightseeing at the monumental Aswan High Dam, built in 1961 under the leadership of President Gamal Abdel Nasser. This modern engineering marvel controls the Nile's flow and generates hydroelectric power for the region.
