What you'll see and do
Kom Ombo Temple
The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu.[2] Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)." The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.

Edfu Temple
Dedicated to the god Horus of Behedet, lord of Edfu, the Temple of Horus is the most famous monument at Tell Edfu. Due to its completeness and state of preservation, it is the best example of Ptolemaic temple building in Egypt. The temple is oriented from south to north, measuring little over 140m long and occupying an area of about 7000 m2.

Great organization of our trip to Egypt
We contacted Mina at first to organize our felucca tour between Aswan and Luxor with visit to the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu. Then we discovered that his agency offered to organize many other excursions throughout the country, so we entrusted him with organizing all the days where we wanted to have a driver and a guide. Everything has been masterfully organized! The drivers were super punctual, professional, all the private vans were air conditioned, which was very pleasant in August! We had several French-speaking Egyptologist guides, who gave us all the information about the sites and history of the country. It was exciting! Special nod to Imane and Emad that we found several times.

Both the driver and...
Both the driver and the guide were fantastic. Very good explanations and very friendly. The only thing to note is that if you want to be dropped off at the West Bank in Luxor you will have to pay an extra. Otherwise recommended.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your feedback

Fantastic trip with Ayman
My fiance and I had our nile cruise cancelled so we booked this last minute, and we're glad we did because Ayman was amazing. We've had several tour guides on this trip of various qualities - all have been very knowledgeable, but the context provided by Ayman along with his passion for the subject made this trip truly enjoyable. I'd highly recommend Ayman to anyone (and also thanks to Ragaey the driver) - he's like the teacher you wish you had in school, who brought life to the subject rather than just regurgitating facts.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot Stuart for your great feedback

An incredible Egyptian adventure
We took the three day trip from Aswan to Kom Ombo on our private feluca with an amazing crew. On our way, we visited three temples : Philae, Kom Ombo and a private car took us to Edfu, and Louxor, our final destination. We felt very safe and taken care of on the boat and we loved Iman, our great bubbly funny guide. It was a transforming experience that I'll never forget. Mina was always prompt to answer all our questions and even got out of his way to make sure the wallet I dropped on the car floor was returned. We loved every minute of this trip.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your feedback! Hope to see you again soon! 😊

Excellent service
Very grateful to Mr Mina for accommodating our itinerary, substituting Kom Ombo for Esna. He answered all my questions in preparation for the trip. Our tour guide Samuel at Edfu was quick and informative, then left us to explore at our own pace. Throughout our 10 day journey in Egypt, and booking with various transfer companies, Remon was actually our favourite driver of our whole trip - reliable, friendly, and very polite. The bigger car was extremely comfortable and perfect for a long day's journey from Aswan to Luxor.
Response from the operator: We appreciate your feedback. We are pleased you found our service satisfactory.

Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.
How much does Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples?
+
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 Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples?
+
Around 2 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Transfer to Luxor from Aswan and visit Kom Ombo and Edfu Temples 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.
