Temples · Upper Egypt
You can visit the Temple of Horus at Edfu as a cruise stop or on a road excursion. Check the itinerary before booking a second entrance.
Plan the visit
You can reach Edfu during the cruise or on an excursion by road.
The temple needs a transfer from the mooring. Ask the operator how it works and what alternatives are available.
Open the stopThe great pylons mark the entrance to the sanctuary of Horus. If you want time for the courtyard and the halls, check the length of the visit on site.
Check whether the visit includes both entrances and where the transfer ends. If the two sites are already in your itinerary, avoid buying the same excursion twice.
If you leave from Luxor and want to be back the same day, compare the Edfu visit with the itinerary that adds Kom Ombo. On a cruise, check both the temple entrance and the transfer from the mooring.
Check availabilityThey are two separate sites along the Nile. Edfu lies further north, Kom Ombo closer to Aswan.
Check the list of included visits. The two cruises compared here list Edfu in the programme.
