  Itinerary


  1. Day 1:

    Day 1: Aswan's Modern Marvels & Ancient Sanctuaries Your adventure kicks off with a scenic and comfortable 3.5-hour morning drive from Luxor to Aswan in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Upon arrival, your dedicated guide will begin the day's exploration with a visit to two remarkable sites. The first stop is the Aswan High Dam, a true marvel of modern engineering. Here, you'll witness a structure built with 18 times the material used for the Great Pyramid of Giza. Your guide will explain its crucial role in controlling the powerful floods of the Nile River, generating vital hydroelectric power for Egypt, and creating the vast expanse of Lake Nasser. The panoramic views from the top are simply stunning. After a delicious lunch, the journey continues with a short, tranquil boat ride across the Nile to the serene Agilkia Island. This is the new home of the breathtaking Philae Temple, a temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. You'll be able to see the intricate carvings and detailed reliefs that tell the story of the Osiris myth. This temple's history is as fascinating as its architecture; it was painstakingly relocated stone-by-stone by UNESCO to save it from the rising waters of the dam. The entire process was one of the largest heritage rescue operations in history. As the sun sets, you'll check into your Aswan hotel, with plenty of time to relax and prepare for tomorrow's early start. This comprehensive journey through Upper Egypt's historical sites is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.


  2. Day 2:

    Day 2: Sunrise at Abu Simbel's Colossal Temples Day two begins with a very early departure at 4:00 AM, a schedule chosen to ensure you witness one of the most magical sights in all of Egypt: sunrise over the Abu Simbel temples. After a morning drive, you will arrive just as the first rays of light illuminate the magnificent facades. Your guide will lead you through the Great Temple of Ramses II, where you’ll marvel at the four colossal 20-meter tall statues of the pharaoh guarding the entrance. You'll learn about the precise solar alignment phenomenon, where the sun's rays perfectly light up the innermost sanctuary on February 22nd and October 22nd each year. The walls of the temple are covered in detailed reliefs celebrating Ramses' victories in battle, a testament to his power. Next, you will visit the Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses II's beloved queen. This temple is unique for its exquisite Hathor-headed columns and the rare, equally-sized statues of both the king and queen on its facade, a symbol of their immense love. You'll also learn more about the incredible feat of engineering that went into moving these entire temples to higher ground to protect them from the Nile, a project that is still considered one of the greatest archaeological achievements of the 20th century. The sheer scale and beauty of these temples, made even more special by the morning light, will leave a lasting impression. This incredible Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel Tour offers more than just sightseeing; it offers a chance to connect with history in a deeply personal way. You’ll begin your return journey to Luxor in the afternoon, arriving back at your hotel by the evening, filled with memories of an unforgettable ancient adventure.

Day 1: Exploring the Gates of Thebes and the Treasures of Luxor

The adventure begins in Luxor, the site of ancient Thebes, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. Your private guide will lead you on a profound exploration of both the East and West Banks. On the East Bank, you will wander through the colossal Karnak Temple complex, a city of towering pillars and hieroglyphics that took over 2,000 years to build. Afterward, you will visit the majestic Luxor Temple, stunningly illuminated in the evening, where pharaohs were crowned. The journey continues to the West Bank, the city of the dead, where you will explore the fabled Valley of the Kings, the burial site of Tutankhamun and other New Kingdom pharaohs. You will also marvel at the unique, terraced architecture of the Temple of Hatshepsut and stand in awe before the Colossi of Memnon, two massive statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. This immersive Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel Tour ensures a deep and personal connection with each historical site.

Day 2: The Journey to Abu Simbel and the Return to Aswan

The second day of this incredible journey is a highlight for many travelers. After an early breakfast in Aswan, the group departs for a picturesque drive to Abu Simbel. This private Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel Tour is timed to allow you to witness the magnificent Abu Simbel temples—dedicated to Ramses II and his beloved Queen Nefertari—as the sun rises, casting a magical glow over their colossal facades. The experience of seeing these structures, which were painstakingly relocated to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser, is nothing short of breathtaking. After a comprehensive tour of the temples, you will return to Aswan.
