Embark on a fascinating journey through some of Upper Egypt’s most iconic sites with our full-day guided tour from Luxor.
Your day begins with a hotel pickup in Luxor, followed by a transfer to Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved cult temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god, Edfu Temple is famed for its mythological significance and remarkable preservation, dating back to the Ptolemaic period (332–30 BC).
Next, visit Kom Ombo Temple, uniquely dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). Built under the Ptolemies, the temple is perfectly symmetrical along its main axis. Discover the fascinating history of the temple and view some of the 300 mummified crocodiles at the on-site museum.
Enjoy a delicious lunch in Aswan, then explore the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel constructed between 1960 and 1970 to control Nile flooding and generate hydroelectric power.
Continue to Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Relocated to Agilkia Island during the UNESCO Nubia Campaign to save it from flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam, this temple complex features traces of Roman architecture, including the elegant Kiosk of Emperor Trajan. Enjoy a guided tour and some free time to explore.
End your day with optional leisure time at Aswan Souk or a café, before boarding your train back to Luxor. Arrival and transfer to your hotel complete your memorable day.
