Itinerary
Step 1
Transfer time: From the moment of meeting and going to the Kom Ombo Temple.
The historical Kom Ombo Temple
located in the north of the city of Kom Ombo, about 45 km north of Aswan, was established in 180 BC. AD, to worship "Sebak and Horus".
This temple is unique in its architectural composition because it is based on two axes, each of which is self-contained, and an integrated lighting project was made to illuminate the temple at night. It was established during the reign of Ptolemy VI, and it was decorated in the Roman era, the time of Emperor Tiberius, in terms of design and architecture. The walls of this temple were decorated with an intimate Egyptian decoration, characterized by the accuracy of its workmanship, good harmony, and the beauty of the balance between the characters of its scenes and the surrounding hieroglyphic inscriptions that complete these scenes.

Step 4
Edfu Temple is one of the most striking and complete of ancient Egyptian temples and is dedicated to the worship of the god Horus. Situated on the western bank of the Nile, its construction began during the reign of Ptolemy III (246–221 BC) in 237 BC, but was completed in the reign of Ptolemy XII (80–51 BC) in 57 BC, 180 years later.
The temple remained buried under layers of settlement debris for millennia, which is why its architectural and decorative elements have survived so well. In 1860 the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette uncovered and restored parts of the temple.
The temple is fronted by two massive pylons that bear scenes of Ptolemy XII conquering his enemies and worshiping deities. Two large granite statues of the falcon-god Horus stand before the pylons. Once through the pylons you enter into a large Peristyle court lined with columns decorated with floral capitals.
