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. Lunch at local restaurant.

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. Then transfer back to your hotel in luxor and overnight.

Birthday Trip - I was able to book with Egypt Promotion Tours via my travel agency Luxe Tribes for my son’s 12th birthday trip and it was amazing! We booked multiple activities (High Dam, Philae Temple, Blue Shadow Nile Cruise, etc.) and the guides, Mahmoud, Nour, Ahmed, Zain, and all of the drivers, were well informed and made sure to make me and my son feel safe. They all went out of their way to celebrate my son, Noah’s, birthday and make him feel special. I highly recommend using this company and I look forward to visiting Egypt again and exploring with my new friends!

Excellent 8 day trip - Review We had an excellent experience with Egypt Promotion from beginning to end of our Journey. We met our tour guide in Luxor who joined our private 3 person group for the 4 day Nile cruise from 19th  to 23rd February 2022. Mr Mohammed (Also known as Smiley) is an amazing guide who made our first time visit to Egypt wonderful and memorable.  Mohammed has a vast knowledge of Egyptian history past and present. He was kind and patient and always  watched over us , for example, when our luggage was left behind in Cairo Airport, he went the extra mile to ensure that our luggage was returned to us. There were many times when he helped to translate for us  or the advice on where to purchase the things we wanted.  We were courteously greeted off at the airport by both him and Mr Zain, the regional manager. After the cruise we spent 3 nights in Cairo. There we were collected by and seen to by the operations manager, Mr Mahmoud. He was extremely helpful and even arranged for a jacket that we left in a tour van to be brought to our hotel. Our guide in Cairo was also called Mr Mahomed. He too was extremely knowledgeable about his field, and particularly about the Pyramids including the less known ones. Lastly all the drivers throughout the trip were very professional and experienced. We hightly recommend Egypt Promotions to anyone traveling to Egypt especially newbies. Their packages and tours are extremely reasonable and good value for money.

Amazing and fascinating scenery with a average tour guide - Walib is very knowledgeable About Aswan, kom embo, Esna and Luxor which were the tourist destinations we visited. He is very friendly too. These venues were absolutely beautiful and he explained the history very well. Tipping culture was excessive and often it felt he was pushing tips where not necessary. He kept stating that he was negotiating best prices with vendors to be fair to us but I am not certain that was always true because at certain places where we shopped, we felt ripped off a bit. This however is likely to be the Egyptian practice and part of the experience. We could’ve done with less forceful tipping

Horrible Services - Horrible services, I wouldn't recommend anyone traveling with them! I booked with them the Aswan & Luxor trip, They booked my train earlier than the cruise's check in timing by 6 hours and didn't even inform me about it! After sitting for 6 hours without a room tired, they checked in other clients before me who has just arrived after me with 6 hours! The cruise's staff claimed they didn't know that we wanted a king bed, even though it was written in our reservation! We were a married couple and we had to stay in 2 separate beds that were sticked together to make it look like a king bed! After checking in, the room's bathroom was very unclean, the room's pillows were very uncomfortable and we kept asking for another pillows the whole trip and they didn't change it. Last thing before my train, they lost our stuff and gave it to another client! And we had to go meet this client in another place to get it back.
