Quick answer: Edfu and Kom Ombo Private Day Tour from Luxor lasts 12 hours in Edfu and Kom Ombo, from $140.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Overview
Travel along the Nile valley to two Ptolemaic and Greco-Roman temples that most visitors only see from a cruise ship. With a private car and guide you can enjoy them at your own pace and without a group.
The first stop is Edfu, about two hours from Luxor, where the Temple of Horus is considered one of the most complete and best preserved temples in Egypt. It was built between 237 and 57 BC. You then continue for roughly an hour and a half to Kom Ombo, an unusual double temple shared by the falcon god Haroeris and the crocodile god Sobek, where carvings show an ancient calendar and medical instruments.
Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Luxor, an air-conditioned vehicle, an expert guide, entrance fees, service charges and taxes are included.
The tour suits all ages. The price per person depends on group size and children pay less: see Prices by group size below.
