The two great Ptolemaic temples south of Luxor in one private day. Edfu’s Temple of Horus is the best-preserved temple in Egypt, complete from its towering pylon to its sanctuary. Kom Ombo, on a bend of the Nile, is unique: a double temple shared by Sobek the crocodile god and Haroeris, with a small museum of mummified crocodiles.
