During the transfer, you will travel north of Aswan toward the Nile River Valley temple route between Aswan and Luxor. Your guide or representative will assist during the road and explain the general program before arrival.

3 Kom Ombo Temple of Sobek and Horus

Start your sightseeing with Kom Ombo Temple, located on the Nile River north of Aswan. Kom Ombo Temple was built mainly during the Ptolemaic period, especially from the 2nd century BC, with later additions during the Roman period.

The temple is known as a double temple because it was dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder. Its double design makes it different from many other ancient Egyptian temples because each side of the temple was planned for a separate god and religious function.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the layout of the temple, the twin entrances, twin courts, twin halls, and the religious meaning of the temple’s double design. Kom Ombo Temple has a symmetrical double plan with 2 entrances, 2 courts, 2 hypostyle halls, and 2 sanctuaries dedicated to Sobek and Horus.

You will also learn about the medical instruments reliefs, temple calendar scenes, and the importance of Kom Ombo as a religious site in the Nile River Valley. The medical reliefs are among the most interesting scenes in the temple and show how religion, healing, temple rituals, and daily needs were connected in ancient Egypt.

Kom Ombo Temple is one of the main temple stops between Aswan and Luxor and is often included in Nile Cruise programs. Its Nile-side location, double sanctuary, carved reliefs, and connection with Sobek and Horus make it an important stop for travelers interested in temple architecture and ancient Egyptian religion.

After lunch, continue from Kom Ombo to Edfu by private air-conditioned vehicle. The distance between Kom Ombo and Edfu is around 65 km / 40 miles, and the driving time is usually around 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on road conditions.

6 Edfu Temple of Horus

Continue to Edfu Temple of Horus, located between Aswan and Luxor and considered one of the best-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. The temple was dedicated to Horus, one of the most important gods in ancient Egyptian religion, usually represented as a falcon or as a man with a falcon head.

The temple was built mainly during the Ptolemaic period, between 237 BC and 57 BC, on the site of an older sacred place connected with Horus worship. Its preserved structure gives one of the clearest examples of late ancient Egyptian temple design, decoration, and religious planning.

During your visit, your private Egyptologist guide will explain the history of Edfu Temple, the role of Horus, and the religious importance of the site. Edfu Temple is about 137 meters / 449 feet long and includes massive pylons, open courts, columns, chapels, carved walls, ritual rooms, and detailed inscriptions.

You will see relief scenes connected with Horus, temple rituals, offerings, religious ceremonies, and the conflict between Horus and Seth. This myth was one of the important religious stories in ancient Egypt and was connected with kingship, protection, order, and victory over chaos.

Edfu Temple is an important stop for travelers interested in temple architecture, ancient Egyptian mythology, and Nile River Valley sightseeing. Its preserved walls, inscriptions, sanctuary, and ceremonial spaces make it one of the most useful temple visits for understanding Ptolemaic-period religious architecture in Egypt.

Tour Tips

Clear tips for Egypt tours including daily planning, site visits, guides, transport, and how to organize efficient day trips.

Our Aswan tours are private tours for you and your group or family only. You do not join other travelers. Each tour is arranged with private pickup and drop-off, a private modern air-conditioned vehicle, a private driver, and a private professional Egyptologist guide.

Depending on the selected Aswan tour, the program can include visits to Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, the Aswan High Dam, the Nubian Village, the Nubian Museum, Elephantine Island, the Botanical Garden, and other Aswan sightseeing sites. Some tours can also include lunch, entrance tickets, motorboat transfers, and road trips to Abu Simbel when required.

Always check the tour inclusions before booking because each Aswan tour has its own route, duration, pickup time, entrance fees, meals, and transport details.

View available private Aswan tours here: Aswan Tours, Trips and Excursions.

Choose your Aswan tour based on the sightseeing sites you want to include and the time available. Aswan city tours usually include Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the Aswan High Dam. Other Aswan tours can include the Nubian Village, the Nubian Museum, Elephantine Island, the Botanical Garden, and motorboat transfers on the Nile.

If you want to visit Abu Simbel, choose a tour that clearly includes the road trip or flight option from Aswan, because Abu Simbel is located south of the city and needs an early departure. If you have limited time, choose an Aswan city tour. If you want more local visits, choose a program that includes the Nubian Village or the islands.

Frequent Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most asked questions.

This FAQ covers core Egypt travel facts: visa on arrival and e-visa options, safety and health basics, average trip costs and cash/card tips, best months by region, what to wear and pack, local customs and public holidays, weather by season, official language and useful phrases, mobile data/Wi-Fi and SIM cards, transport (flights, trains, taxis, ride-hailing), tipping norms, and guidance for solo travelers and families. Use it to plan quickly and avoid surprises.

Getting into Egypt is genuinely easy. Most nationalities receive a 30-day visa on arrival at Cairo, Luxor, and Hurghada airports for just USD 30, paid in cash at the bank counter before immigration. If you prefer to sort it before you fly, Egypt's official e-Visa takes 3 to 5 business days and costs the same amount. Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your travel date. When you book with WOW Egypt Tours, your dedicated advisor confirms your exact visa route before anything else, so there is no guesswork on your end.

Absolutely. WOW Egypt Tours specialises in shore excursions from Egypt's main cruise ports including Alexandria for Cairo and the Pyramids, Port Said for Cairo, Safaga for Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, and Sokhna. Your guide meets you directly at the dock, the itinerary is timed precisely to get you back well before all-aboard, and everything runs in a private vehicle with no waiting around. Just share your ship name, port of call, and docking time when you get in touch and we handle the rest.

Start with a message through our contact page, WhatsApp, or email at booking@WOWEgyptTours.com. From that first message you will deal with one dedicated advisor who designs the itinerary, answers every question, and manages your trip from start to finish. A deposit secures your dates and the balance can be paid before arrival or on arrival in Egypt, depending on the package. Your advisor confirms the available payment methods for your specific booking. There are no surprise charges along the way.

 

This is genuinely what we do best. Through our tailor-made experience, your advisor starts from scratch with your travel dates, the destinations you care about, the pace you prefer, your accommodation style, and your budget, then builds an itinerary around all of it. Want to add a sunrise hot air balloon over Luxor, a private yacht on the Nile, a marriage proposal at Abu Simbel, a family trip mapped around your children's interests, or a wheelchair-accessible route through the Pyramids? All of it is possible and all of it has been done before.

 

Think light, breathable, and modest. Loose cotton or linen clothing works brilliantly in the heat and dries fast. Inside temples, mosques, and religious sites, covered shoulders and knees are required, so a lightweight scarf or wrap folds into any bag and solves the problem instantly. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes matter more than you might expect as ancient surfaces are uneven. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are non-negotiable in summer. A small reusable water bottle is a good idea everywhere. For desert or Sinai trips, pack a warm layer as nights drop sharply once the sun goes down.
