Escape Aswan for a day and follow the Nile northward to two of Upper Egypt’s most captivating temples. Your first stop is Kom Ombo, the extraordinary twin sanctuary shared between Sobek the crocodile deity and Horus the falcon, where mummified crocodiles rest in a dedicated chamber and reliefs of ancient surgical tools still puzzle visitors today. The road then leads to Edfu, whose colossal pylon and hawk-flanked courtyard survive almost untouched, making it one of the finest preserved temples in the country. Travelling in air-conditioned comfort alongside a passionate local Egyptologist, you’ll have plenty of unhurried time to explore, photograph and let each carving speak. Reserve your seat with Daily Pyramids Tours and step straight into the story of ancient Egypt.
Slip away from Aswan for a rewarding day of temple-hopping along the Nile, calling at two of Egypt’s most compelling sanctuaries. Kom Ombo is a curious double temple honouring both Sobek the crocodile god and Horus the falcon god, with walls that still whisper tales of ritual, medicine and myth. A short drive later, Edfu unfolds — a soaring, remarkably intact monument raised to Horus the Falcon God and widely regarded as one of the best-preserved temples in all of Egypt. Together they offer an unforgettable window into ancient beliefs and craftsmanship.
Your day begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Aswan. Your first stop is the remarkable Kom Ombo Temple, a unique dual-temple dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Horus. As you explore this fascinating site, your guide will provide you with captivating insights into the temple’s history and its distinctive symmetrical design.
Next, continue your journey to Edfu, home to one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient temples. Dedicated to the god Horus, this temple stands out for its impressive size and the intricate hieroglyphs that adorn its walls. Your guide will lead you through the temple, sharing the rich mythology and historical significance tied to the legendary god Horus.
After an enriching day of exploring these iconic sites, you’ll return to your hotel, concluding your memorable journey through the ancient wonders of Egypt.

A number of memorable extras sit outside our standard packages. You can arrange them in advance or add them on the ground, subject to availability. Popular add-ons include:
Optional experiences can be settled in USD or Egyptian Pounds (EGP). Booking ahead is strongly recommended, particularly through the busy high season.
Our packages are designed to cover the essentials, but it’s worth budgeting a little extra for:
It pays to keep a small stash of Egyptian Pounds (EGP) on hand for convenience, especially when tipping or picking up finds in the local souks.
Tipping — known locally as “baksheesh” — is a well-established way of thanking someone for a job well done in Egypt. It isn’t compulsory, but it is genuinely appreciated:
Gratuities are not included in your package price, so keeping a supply of small USD or EGP notes handy makes tipping far easier as you go.
Egypt is at its most inviting in the cooler months, roughly November through February, when daytime temperatures are pleasantly mild for wandering the pyramids, temples and open-air sites. The peak of summer, from June to August, is best avoided as the mercury can climb well past 40°C (104°F) in many regions.
To enter Egypt as a visitor, you will generally need the following:
Passport: Valid for at least six months from the date of entry.
Visa: Depending on your nationality, you may need to obtain a visa in advance or upon arrival. Some nationalities are eligible for e-visas.
Travel Insurance: Recommended to cover medical emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances.
Vaccinations: While no specific vaccinations are required for entry, it’s advisable to check with your healthcare provider for any recommended vaccinations.
Egypt is broadly regarded as a safe destination for tourists. Considerable effort has gone into protecting visitors, particularly around the main archaeological sites and city centres. Even so, it’s sensible to review the latest travel advice from your own government before you go and to keep an ear on local news while you’re there.
Decide Your Travel Dates and Budget
Pin down when you’d like to travel and roughly how much you’re comfortable spending. This shapes every subsequent decision from flights to hotels to tours.
Choose Your Itinerary and Destinations
Egypt is packed with must-sees — Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza, Luxor, Aswan, a Nile Cruise, Alexandria and the Red Sea coast among them. Decide which places make your shortlist and how many nights each deserves.
Find a Reliable Tour Operator or Travel Agency
You can book directly with a local Egyptian operator, an international agency or an online specialist. Read reviews and ratings carefully to make sure they’re reputable.
Select a Tour Package or Customize Your Trip
Many operators offer ready-made packages bundling flights, hotels, transport and guiding. Alternatively, you can tailor an itinerary from scratch to suit your interests and budget.
Make a Reservation
Once you’ve settled on a package or bespoke plan, contact the operator to confirm availability. You’ll share your personal details and pay either a deposit or the full amount, depending on their policy.
Prepare Your Travel Documents
Check your passport validity and secure an Egyptian visa if you need one. Reconfirm your bookings and print out your itinerary, hotel vouchers and tour confirmations.
Pack and Get Ready
Pack for the season and the activities on your programme. Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and travel adapters are non-negotiables.
Enjoy Your Trip!
Once you land, follow your itinerary, keep in touch with your guide or agency and give yourself over to Egypt’s remarkable history and culture.
Tipping — or “baksheesh” — is woven into daily life in Egypt and is rarely built into tour prices. It’s customary to leave something for guides, drivers, hotel staff and other service providers. A helpful benchmark is to tip roughly 10-15% of the bill or service cost, adjusted for how attentive the service felt.
