Private Day Trip to El Kab Tombs and Edfu Temple from Luxor

Overview

Escape the crowds and take a private full-day tour from Luxor to two remarkable sites in Upper Egypt. You will travel south along the Nile to El Kab, the long-forgotten capital of Upper Egypt, where you will explore rock-cut tombs with vivid inscriptions. As you move through the site, you will see the famous tomb of Ahmose, son of Ibana, whose autobiography records the story of the Hyksos' defeat. You will then continue to the Temple of Edfu, one of Egypt’s best-preserved ancient temples, dedicated to the falcon god Horus. Here you will admire the towering pylons, enter grand halls and study the beautifully carved reliefs that decorate the walls. Along the way you will learn about the historical significance of both sites beyond the usual tourist trail. The tour includes private transportation and a flexible itinerary, and will end with a comfortable drive back to Luxor.
