Kom Ombo Combo

Our Kom Ombo Combo Tour is the classic all-inclusive Nile Cruise experience. It stretches over 4 nights, and 5 days beginning in the city of Luxor. Whether you are a solo traveler or a small group or family you are welcome to book this tour. You'll spend the first two days exploring the temples and tombs of Luxor before sailing southward stopping at both the Edfu and Kom Ombo temples. You'll end the Nile cruise portion of your tour in the city of Aswan where you'll see the beautiful outcroppings of huge granite rocks comprising the Cataracts of the Nile river. While in Aswan you'll visit local markets, a Nubian village and the Philae Temple.
