The Ultimate 2-Day Itinerary Through Ancient Egypt
What sets this excursion apart from the rest is its ability to pack three legendary destinations into a single, well-paced trip. Every aspect of this journey is carefully curated to maximize your time and immersion in the rich history. Unlike crowded bus tours, our private Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel Tour ensures you receive the undivided attention of a private Egyptologist guide, a true expert dedicated to bringing the stories of pharaohs, gods, and queens to life. From the moment your air-conditioned vehicle arrives for a hotel or airport pickup, you’ll know that every detail of your transportation and logistics has been handled with care.
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. While there, you have the option to add on a visit to a traditional Nubian Village or a felucca sail on the Nile, personalizing your ancient wonders tour even further.
