EdfuThis comprehensive 10-hour tour, inclusive of transportation, promises an enriching experience. You will be chauffeured in an air-conditioned vehicle to Edfu, where you will encounter the most intact and impeccably preserved temple in Egypt, adorned with magnificent granite statues of the falcon god, Horus. This Ptolemaic temple stands as a tribute to the falcon deity "Horus." The temple's walls, columns, and doorways are adorned with intricate reliefs that provide a valuable glimpse into ancient Egyptian religious and political ideologies. Among the most captivating reliefs is the narrative of Horus seeking vengeance against Seth for the murder of his father, Osiris—a ritual reenacted annually within the temple. Additionally, other reliefs chronicle the temple's construction stages and offer insights into the completion dates of various architectural elements.

Temple of Kom OmboConcluding our visit to the Edfu Temple, we will proceed to the intriguing destination of Kom Ombo. Upon arrival, you'll explore a truly unique double-structured temple dedicated to both the Falcon god "Haroeris" in its southern section and the Crocodile god "Sobek" in the northern section. This temple's construction dates back to the Ptolemaic era, adding to its historical significance. Of particular interest within this temple is a scene etched onto the inner face of the rear wall, which holds a captivating representation that likely depicts an array of surgical instruments.
