Next, a short domestic flight takes you to Luxor, which many call the world’s best open museum. First, you will step inside the colorful royal tombs within the Valley of the Kings. In addition, you will see the unique Temple of Hatshepsut, built right into the side of a tall desert hill. Later, you can walk past the massive stone columns at the Karnak Temple Complex. Furthermore, you will witness the magical evening lights at Luxor Temple. This is a grand cultural experience that you will treasure forever.
Moving forward, you will travel south towards beautiful Aswan. Along the way, you will stop to see the famous riverside temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. Once you reach Aswan, you will take a scenic boat ride to the floating Philae Temple. Moreover, you will visit the huge High Dam and meet the kind Nubian people.
