4 Days Steigenberger Regency Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor

After breakfast, start your sightseeing with a stop at the fascinating Temple of Kom Ombo, which is one of the more distinctive temples in Egypt. It sits beautifully along the Nile’s edge, dedicated to two gods: Sobek , the crocodile deity linked with fertility and the Nile, and Horus the Elder (Haeroris), the falcon- headed guardian. You ll notice the symmetrical layout, the detailed reliefs, and those ancient medical carvings, that s why it s counted among the country’s most remarkable archaeological places.
