in Luxor and transferred to Edfu around an hour drive
south of Luxor. Arrival in Edfu where you can visit
the majestic Temple of Edfu that dedicated to Horus
which is considered by most to be the best preserved
cult temple in Egypt. According to the Egyptian myths,
it was the place where the falcon-headed god Horus
revenged the murder of his father Osiris by killing
Seth.
Then continue your day tour to Kom Ombo around
45 minutes driving from Eduf Arrival Kom Ombo
transfer to see the Temple of Kom Ombo standing
on high grounds overlooking The Nile. It differs
from other temples because of its double entrance;
each one is dedicated to divinity: “Haroeris” with his
falcon head and “Sobek” with his crocodile head. The
Temple of Kom Ombo was built on the honor of two
deities the crocodile-headed Sobek, god of fertility
and creator of the world, and Haroeris or the ancient
falcon-headed Horus. Also, Kom Ombo’s importance
lies in its huge sugar-cane.

Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 protecting
Egypt from annual floods from the Nile. Then proceed

techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut
obelisks. Most probably this obelisk belongs to Queen
Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th Dynasty and

the owner of her Temple in the eastern bank of Luxor.

Nefertiti. Move on to visit the majestic Philae Temple
