Itinerary:

Begin your remarkable journey in Kom Ombo and Edfu from Aswan with Around Egypt Tours. A certified tour guide will meet you at your hotel in Aswan to begin what promises to be one of the most exciting Aswan day trips for the tourist. The first part of the trip is to transfer comfortably to the town of Edfu. Visit the Temple of Horus-depending mind on the mythological falcon-headed god-as soon as you get there. Famous as the finest preserved cult temple in Egypt, this grand temple is said to be in ancient Egyptian mythology, where Horus avenged his father Osiris by defeating the uncle Seth. The rich inscriptions on their interior walls offer a fascinating glimpse into the mythology, religion, and day-to-day lives of ancient Egyptians. Next, visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, built between 1350 and 180 B.C. during the reign of Ramses II. It is located by the Nile's small banks. It is this temple-the only one of its kind-dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile-headed god, and Haroeris, the falcon-headed god, whose local community reveres. The temple has a dual orientation so as to dedicate itself to both of these diverging gods, thus symbolizing fertility and protection. After visiting these magnificent sites, you will be returned to your hotel in Aswan for comfort.
