What makes Full Day Tour from Luxor to Aswan by Car a unique experience ?
Begin your day at 6:00 AM as you are met and assisted at your Luxor hotel before embarking on an exciting journey. Your first stop is Edfu, about an hour’s drive south of Luxor.
Here, you’ll encounter the awe-inspiring Temple of Edfu, dedicated to Horus. This remarkably well-preserved cult temple is considered one of Egypt’s finest. It’s here that, according to Egyptian myths, Horus avenged his father Osiris’s murder by slaying Seth.
Next, continue your day tour with a 60-minute drive to Kom Ombo.
Upon arrival, visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo, situated on an elevated terrain overlooking the Nile. What sets this temple apart is its dual entrance, each dedicated to a different deity: “Haroeris” with his falcon head and “Sobek” with his crocodile head. This temple honors the crocodile-headed Sobek, the god of fertility and creation, and Haroeris, the ancient falcon-headed Horus. Kom Ombo’s significance also lies in its vast sugarcane cultivation.
Your adventure then takes you to Aswan, where you’ll explore the incredible city. Visit the High Dam, a remarkable engineering achievement built in 1960 to shield Egypt from the annual Nile floods.
Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, revealing ancient Egyptian obelisk-cutting techniques. This colossal obelisk likely belonged to Queen Hatshepsut or Queen Nefertiti.
