This site was first scientifically excavated by James Quibell at the end of the nineteenth century, but other archaeologists have spent time at this site include Frederick William Green, Archibald Henry Sayce, Joseph John Tylor, and Somers Clarke. However, Belgian archaeologists took over the project in 1937, and it has remained in their hands since then. Much of the research done at this site took place within the town enclosure of El-Kab.

I recently did this tour in Luxor. This is a private tour so you are able to move at your own pace. This was a special tour because after Ko Ombo, the driver dropped us off at an Aswan hotel vs going back to Luxor. The guide, Ahmed Emam, was nice.

I recently did this tour in Luxor. This is a private tour so you are able to move at your own pace. This was a special tour because after Ko Ombo, the driver dropped us off at an Aswan hotel vs going back to Luxor. The guide, Ahmed Emam, was nice. The driver, Mohammed Ramadan, was a great driver and very professional. Overall, I recommend doing this tour while in Luxor, especially if you need a ride to Aswan without a plane or private car.We had an amazing day with our tour guide Mohamed Adel who was very knowledgeable and friendly!

We had an amazing day with our tour guide Mohamed Adel who was very knowledgeable and friendly! We first went to Edfu, a temple for god Horus. Mohamed provided insights to the background on the Egyptian gods and early Christians that found shelter in Egyptian temples. Then at Kom Ombo, temple for Sobek and Horus, we learned how to read some hieroglyphs such as the crowing of the pharaoh and early surgical tools. We finished off the day with a late lunch and was back at our hotel before sunset. Would highly recommend for those with a few days in Luxor!It was about a ten hour tour but worth it to see the Greek Temples close to the Nile rIver. You can also visit these temples if you are with a river cruise. Both temple complexes are half way between Luxor and Aswan. I was accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide Hesham. Recommend the tour.

I had the absolute pleasure of taking a private tour with Mohamed Hashem. I can't say enough about the wealth and depth of knowledge he shared. He gave so much detail and was very thorough with providing an accurate account for the hieroglyphs scribed on the walls of the temples to the many, many questions I had. Whether you are like e and love reading on Ancient Egypt or you are not aware of all the antiquities and their meaning, I would highly recommend Mohamed. His passion to discuss and answer questions really gave us the best insight to all the areas we visited. I will be back and look forward to seeing Mohamed again! Thank you for your knowledge & enthusiasm!! - PatrickI had a exceptional tour of the temples with my guide Ashraf.
