Pass by without stopping
Kom Ombo Temple
Arrive at the spectacular Kom Ombo Temple, perched on high ground overlooking the Nile. This unique Ptolemaic temple is dedicated to two gods—Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder)—and is renowned for its rare symmetrical design. Explore the beautifully preserved reliefs and, if time permits, visit the nearby Crocodile Museum, home to mummified crocodiles discovered in the area. After your visit, continue with a scenic drive of approximately 2 hours to Edfu Temple.

Edfu Temple
Continue your journey to the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god of kingship and protection, the temple is closely associated with the legendary battle in which Horus avenged the murder of his father, Osiris, by defeating his uncle Seth. Built during the Ptolemaic period (332–30 BC), Edfu Temple is among the few Egyptian temples completed almost entirely according to its original design. Its towering entrance, impressive columns, and beautifully preserved inscriptions provide an extraordinary glimpse into the architecture, rituals, and religious traditions of ancient Egypt. After your guided visit, relax in the comfort of your private air-conditioned vehicle as you are transferred to your hotel, Nile cruise, airport, or preferred drop-off location in Luxor or Aswan, according to your travel itinerary.

Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aswan is not rushed.
Is Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 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 Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Kom Ombo & Edfu Temples Day Tour from Aswan start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aswan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aswan?
+
On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
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.
