Meeting Point
At your hotel reception.
Pick up from your hotel
I will pick you up from your hotel between (6:30 - 7:00 AM) to drive to Edfu. It takes about two hours to Edfu from Luxor.
Visit Edfu Temple
Edfu lies 110 kilometers south of Luxor. In Ancient Egypt, the town was known as Behdt. It was the cult center of the God Horus of Behdt (or Hr Bhdt). Horus was a protective God. He was depicted as a Falcon or a man with a Falcon’s head.
During the Greco-Roman era, the Temple of Horus in Edfu was built. The temple building took 180 years to complete. Construction began in 237 BC and finished in 57 BC. The temple is the most intact temple in Egypt. It was dedicated to one of god Horus’s most important festivals, called the “Beautiful Gathering”. During the festival Hathor, consort of Horus traveled to Edfu from her temple at Dendera to visit her husband Horus for a few days each year.
Edfu to Kom Ombo.
Drive from Edfu to Kom Ombo which takes about an hour.
Visit Kom Ombo Temple.
Kom Ombo is 45 Kilometers north of Aswan. For the Ancient Egyptians, it lies at a strategic place as the starting point of the desert route to the gold mines in the Eastern Desert. During the Greco-Roman era when the temple was built, it was known as Ombos. The temple was popular as a Sanatorium.
The temple here is unique because it is divided into two separate gods, the Falcon-headed god Horus and the Crocodile-headed god Sobek, as two temples. Each has its own portion.
In 2012 the Crocodile Museum was built to house 31 crocodile mummies. It is a small museum well worth exploring.
Drive from Kom Ombo to Luxor
Drive from Kom Ombo back to your hotel in Luxor. It takes about three hours.

Luxor Full Day Tour: West And East Banks With Lunch
“A day around Luxor”
TLDR; A fantastic organization that delivered everything they promised. Mohammed our guide, and our driver were very professional. They met us at the airport and the tour started from our first meeting with Mohammed. A great day seeing everything we wanted to see and then being dropped off at our hotel at the end of the day. Thanks so much Mohammed. I would also like to thank the people behind the scenes who helped organize our Luxor trip. Everyone's communication was a credit to gowithguide
