Travel north from Aswan for a privately guided visit to two Ptolemaic temples beside the Nile. Kom Ombo is unusual because its rooms, courts and sanctuaries were arranged for two cults, one associated with Sobek and the other with Horus the Elder. After lunch, continue to Edfu and cross to the Temple of Horus, one of the most complete ancient temples in Egypt. Its towering gateway and sequence of halls make the building’s ceremonial layout especially easy to understand. The day includes private transportation, entrance fees, lunch and return service to your Aswan hotel or Nile cruise.
