Full-day tour from Luxor: Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae and the High Dam

This is the day for you if you are based in Luxor and want to see the great temples of the south without moving hotels.

We drive south to the Temple of Horus at Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, then on to Kom Ombo and its temple by the Nile. In Aswan you visit the Temple of Philae, the island temple of Isis, and finish at the High Dam before the drive back to Luxor. You spend about an hour at each stop.

An Egyptologist travels with you and answers your questions along the way. You ride in a private air-conditioned vehicle with pickup from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise, and every entrance ticket is already paid.
