Begin your journey in Egypt with a warm welcome upon arrival at Luxor Airport. One of our professional English-speaking representatives will meet you, assist with all arrival formalities, and ensure a smooth transfer to your hotel for check-in and relaxation.
Your exploration of ancient Thebes begins on the west bank of Luxor, home to some of Egypt’s most treasured archaeological wonders. Step into the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs. Here, you’ll visit the famous tomb of King Tutankhamun, among many other legendary burial chambers. Continue to the remarkable Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir El Bahari. Carved directly into the cliffs, this architectural masterpiece stands as a tribute to one of Egypt’s most powerful female rulers and showcases the artistry of ancient Egyptian builders.
Before leaving the west bank, stop at the towering Colossi of Memnon—two massive statues that once guarded the mortuary temple of King Amenhotep III. Then, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, cross to the east bank to visit the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple Complex. This vast sanctuary dedicated to the god Amun Ra is a monumental record of ancient Egyptian devotion, built and expanded over generations from the Middle Kingdom onward.
Conclude the day with a visit to the Temple of Luxor, an elegant structure that reflects the grandeur of pharaonic architecture. With contributions from kings like Amenhotep III and Ramses II, this temple remains a stunning symbol of ancient Egypt’s glory.
Return to your hotel to relax and reflect on the incredible sites explored during your first day.
Overnight in Luxor
Meals: Lunch
After breakfast, check out from your hotel in Luxor and begin your scenic journey southward, accompanied by your expert guide. Your first stop is the magnificent Temple of Edfu, dedicated to the falcon-headed god Horus. One of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, Edfu offers a striking example of ancient Egyptian architecture and religious devotion.
Continue to the charming riverside town of Kom Ombo, where you’ll visit the unique Temple of Kom Ombo. Unlike any other temple in Egypt, it features a symmetrical design with twin entrances—one honoring Sobek, the crocodile-headed god associated with fertility and creation, and the other dedicated to Haroeris (Horus the Elder), the falcon-headed deity. This remarkable site reflects both religious and architectural innovation.
Proceed toward Aswan, where you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant upon arrival.
In the afternoon, explore some of Aswan’s most iconic landmarks. Visit the High Dam, a modern engineering triumph that controls the flow of the Nile and powers much of Egypt. Next, discover the Unfinished Obelisk, still attached to the bedrock, offering rare insight into ancient stone-carving techniques and the challenges faced by builders of the time.
Conclude your day with a visit to the beautiful Philae Temple, gracefully situated on an island and dedicated to the goddess Isis, the symbol of motherhood, magic, and protection. The temple’s peaceful setting and elegant structure make it one of Aswan’s most beloved attractions.
After a full day of exploration, check in to your hotel in Aswan for a restful evening.
Overnight in Aswan
Meals: Breakfast – Lunch
Start your day with a convenient breakfast box provided by your hotel before setting off on a scenic drive in a private air-conditioned vehicle to one of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring sites—Abu Simbel.
Once known in ancient times as “Meha,” this sacred site dates back to the 18th Dynasty, with early rock-cut chapels created by Ay and Horemheb. Today, Abu Simbel is best known for its magnificent twin temples carved into the mountainside by Ramses II.
Upon arrival, marvel at the colossal Temple of Ramses II, dedicated to the sun god Rahorakhty, with four towering statues guarding its entrance. Nearby stands the smaller yet equally impressive Temple of Queen Nefertari, built in honor of the king’s beloved wife and the goddess Hathor.
After soaking in the grandeur and historical significance of these ancient masterpieces, begin your return journey. Travel back to Luxor, where you’ll be transferred to the airport for your final departure, carrying unforgettable memories of Egypt’s majestic past.
