Tour Itinerary & Map

1 Day 1 - Embark in Aswan & Sail to Kom Ombo: Check in aboard your Nile cruise ship in Aswan, taking in the islands and Nubian villages along the riverbank as the ship sails north. In the evening, visit Kom Ombo Temple, dedicated to the gods Sobek and Horus, before continuing on to Edfu for the night.
