Luxor - Edfu Temple & Kom Ombo Temple: Full Day Private Tour
You will be picked up by a professional tour guide and will drive south past picturesque villages. We visit the Edfu Temple, dedicated to the God Horus. The temple has a pillared hall, two diagonal halls and a sanctuary surrounded by chapels, containing a beautiful replica of the Holy Bark. The walls provide details of the construction, the religious myths and the family history of Horus. The temple is nearly intact and a very good example of an ancient Egyptian temple. After lunch, we drive further south to Kom Ombo to visit the famous double temple, dedicated to "Horus the Elder" and Sobek. There are some remarkable scenes on the temple walls which will be explained to you like the portrayal of a set of surgical instruments that look extraordinarily like the ones we use today.
