Day 2End your 2-day Felucca cruise - Kom Ombo Temple

Breakfast and disembarkation. Then your 2 day felucca cruise from Aswan continues to the famous Daraw Camel Market (every Saturday and Sunday). Daraw has one of the largest camel markets in Egypt. Most of the camels come in caravans from Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan along the Darb Al Arba’een (Forty Days Rd) to just north of Abu Simbel before being trucked to Daraw. It is a picturesque sight and fascinating to see the trading; sometimes there are as many as 2000 camels.

Then, you will proceed to Kom Ombo. Visit the twin temple of Horus and Sobek together with the Crocodile Museum. Kom Ombo Temple was built over the ruined temple of the New Kingdom. The temple began during the time of Ptolemy V and was completed by the time of Emperor Tiberius. The emperors Domitian, Caracalla, and others added to the temple. So it took about 400 years to finish. Conclude your 2 day Nile felucca cruise with a transfer to Aswan hotels or Aswan Airport.
