What you'll see and do
Kom Ombo Temple
The Temple of Kom Ombo is an ancient Egyptian temple located in the town of Kom Ombo near Aswan. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, between 180–47 BC, with some additions later made during the Roman period. The architecture of the temple is unique because of its 'double' design, with two courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms dedicated to two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and accompanied by Hathor and Khonsu, while the northern part was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris and Tasenetnofret and Panebtawy. The temple is also atypical because it is perfectly symmetrical along its main axis. The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period, and the temple held a specific theology that combined the universalist theme and the local theme . The temple was initially built in the New Kingdom, but it gained more importance during the Ptolemaic Kingdom.

Edfu Temple
The Temple of Horus is an ancient Egyptian temple from the Ptolemaic period located in Edfu, Upper Egypt. The temple is dedicated to the god Horus, who was worshipped at this temple from the 3rd century BC until the 1st century AD. It is one of the largest and best preserved temples in Egypt, consisting of a great pylon, a large court, a hypostyle hall, and an inner sanctuary. The temple was built during the reign of the Ptolemaic pharaohs, who sought to unify themselves with the gods of Egypt in order to gain legitimacy. The present temple dates from the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes, and was completed in 57 BC. Throughout its long history, the temple has served many purposes, including as a place of worship, a granary, and a fortress. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in Egypt, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan cost?
+

How long does Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan take?

Is Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan?
+

Is Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+

How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aswan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip To Kom Ombo And Edfu Temples From Aswan start and how do I get there?
+

What are the best things to do in Aswan?
+

When is the best time to visit Aswan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aswan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
