Additional Information

As soon as your journey begins, your guide will cater to your every need. Once in the vehicle, your guide will discuss everything you pass by as well as the other aspects of your journey that are of interest to you.

Make a trip to Edfu, where you will be escorted to visit the grand temple dedicated to Horus. Considered by most as the best preserved religious temple in Egypt, it echoes an intriguing part of Egyptian mythology.

As the myths go, this was the place where Horus, the god with a falcon’s head, sought vengeance for his father Osiris’s murder by eliminating Seth.

Then, be transferred to visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, a unique temple with an elevated location overlooking the Nile. Its uniqueness lies in its double entrances, each dedicated to a different deity: “Haroeris” with a falcon head and ” Sobek ” with a crocodile head.

The Temple of Kom Ombo pays tribute to two gods - the crocodile-headed Sobek, believed to be the god of fertility and world creator, and Haroeris or the ancient Horus with a falcon’s head.
