Ideal for travelers interested in ancient history, architecture, and mythology, this full-day tour takes you south along the Nile River to two of the best-preserved temples in Egypt: Edfu Temple and Kom Ombo Temple.

Your day begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor. Traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with a private guide, you’ll head toward Edfu, a city famed for its towering temple dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus.
