Customer Reviews
This tour is a great option to get from Assuan tu Luxor and enjoy the rather long drive. You can explore the three temples at Kom Ombo, Edfu and Esna rather briefly on your own (without a guide). This is great because the temples are not that big anyways. Esna is really tiny, but has absolutely beautiful colors that you won't find in any temple more to the south. Edfu is really monumental and a must-see. Kom Ombo is nice and located right at the Nile, but also quite small. Traffic in the cities can be insane, the trip took us over 9 hours, but Edfu made it really worth it for me.
We enjoyed driving through the farming villages and the market day business. It gave us a different insight into life in Egypt. Mohammed ATI was an excellent guide at Kom Ombo, the most information from any guide that we have had. Alex was a great driver.
the drive and the visits were very interesting. the time spent at each site was perfect for a good look around. I really enjoyed seeing the life of the Egyptian people in the villages as we drove between aswan and luxor. mohamed was a great driver! really glad we did the trip!
