There are manyremarkable places situated along the flow of Nile. Its fertile soil and abundant waters have fed the ancient civilization that thrived on its banks for thousands of years and created numerous cities, temples and other enormous structures that lasted until now. With this tour you will discover the ancient spirit and religion that has dominated the landscape for thousands of years. We’ll rive from Luxor to Aswan, visiting several locations on our way that boast impressive complexes that are certainly worth exploring.

The first stop during our trip will be made in the town of Kom Ombo. This relatively small settlement sitting on the bank of Nile features one of the most remarkable temples dedicated to god Horus. This bird-headed creature was revered as the god of the royal family and power, and many pharaohs were depicted in the god’s form as well. This particular temple complex is peculiar due to its size and good condition. After admiring this location, we’ll continue the tour to our next stop in the town of Edfu. Here we’ll find another temple complex, which is even more peculiar because it is dedicated to two gods simultaneously – something rather uncommon for the religious tradition of Ancient Egypt. The first go who was revered and presented here is Horus, but alongside his symbols you will also see crocodiles and crocodile-headed statues, which depict god Sobek. This god was the keeper of fertility and Nile, so it’s logic to see such two powerful figures in the same place.

Once we get to Aswan, there will be two major sites to explore for us. First, we’ll admire the colossal High Dam, constructed to protect the lower part of Nile River from devastating floods. Then we’ll disembark on the Philae Islands, where the remarkable temple complex of Isis is located. You private guide in Luxor will tell you all about the places you’ll see during the tour.
