Itinerary
Your journey begins with pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in either Aswan or Luxor. Travel comfortably in a private, air-conditioned vehicle along the scenic Nile Valley, where your guide will share stories of the temples you are about to visit.
Dramatically situated on the Nile’s bank. Unique in design, it is dedicated to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder). Explore its twin sanctuaries, beautifully carved reliefs, and the fascinating Crocodile Museum, which houses mummified crocodiles found in the region.
Dedicated to Horus, the falcon-headed god. Built during the Ptolemaic period, it is one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt. Walk through its monumental entrance, admire intricate carvings that depict battles between Horus and Seth, and step inside the inner sanctuary where rituals once took place. Your guide will reveal the temple’s symbolism, mythology, and historical significance.
After a full day of exploration, you return to Aswan or Luxor. You will be dropped off at your hotel or cruise ship, having gained a deeper understanding of Egypt’s rich religious traditions and architectural brilliance.
