Luxor, The ancient city stood on both sides of the Nile, and few spots in Egypt, are so ideally suited to such a purpose. The range of hills to the east and west curve away from the river’s bank leaving broad plains on either side. Here marvelous monuments were raised in honor of Amon-Ra. Luxor, which developed into the great Capital of the Egyptian empire, had no particular importance during the first thousand years of Egypt’s ancient History. When Narmer moved northwards to unit the two lands and establish Memphis as capital; in the Early Dynastic Period when the kings constructed their cenotaphs at Abydos; during the Great Pyramid Age when granite was quarried from Aswan in the south and transported to the Necropolis of Giza to the north- throughout all these long centuries Luxor was no different from the chief cities of other provinces. ASWAN, Aswan is a Nubian city in the south of Egypt located on the east bank of the Nile River connected to Cairo with train stations, railways, and domestic flights, its the population is almost about 900,000, The city of Aswan is about 85 meters above sea level, it is 879 km from Cairo, and its area about 34,608 km2.

In the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Luxor by an air-conditioned car that takes you across the Barrage to Edfu on the East side of the Nile.

In Edfu you will visit the Temple of Horus, which is dedicated to the god Horus, the falcon-headed god.

This relatively young pharaonic temple is well-preserved and therefore very impressive.

After this temple you will be taken to see the Temple of Kom Ombo, which is dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek.

The temple, dating to the Ptolemies, is built on a high dune overlooking the Nile.

Ptolemy VI Philometor started building the actual temple in the early second century BC.

Ptolemy XIII built the outer and inner hypostyle halls.

The outer enclosure wall and a part of the court were built by Augustus sometime after 30 BC, and are mostly gone.

There are also tombs from the Old Kingdom in the vicinity of Kom Ombo village.

After touring the temples you will be transferred back to your hotel in Luxor by an air-conditioned vehicle.
