Itinerary

Day 1 – Luxor East and West Bank Highlights

Begin your tour at Karnak Temple, the grandest religious complex in Egypt. Explore its vast halls, towering columns, and sacred obelisks that celebrate centuries of pharaonic power. The temple’s monumental architecture sets the tone for an epic journey through Egypt’s ancient civilization.

Luxor Temple

Continue to Luxor Temple, a stunning urban sanctuary famous for its detailed carvings, massive pylons, and festive atmosphere during ancient times. Walking through its colonnades and statues offers a direct connection to the religious life of Thebes.

Valley of the Kings

Cross the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs were buried in richly decorated tombs carved into the mountains. Discover the royal burial sites of legendary rulers such as Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Seti I.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Visit the elegant Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, carved into the cliffs at Deir El-Bahari. This temple honors Egypt’s most powerful female pharaoh and features terraces and reliefs depicting her divine birth and reign.

Day 2 – Aswan Highlights

Philae Temple

Travel to Aswan and explore Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This beautifully preserved temple complex is located on Agilkia Island and is accessible by boat. The intricate carvings and serene Nile views make it a must-see attraction.

Aswan High Dam

Visit the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel that controls the Nile’s flooding and created Lake Nasser. This modern structure highlights Egypt’s balance between ancient history and contemporary development.

Unfinished Obelisk

Discover the Unfinished Obelisk at Aswan’s granite quarries, an enormous obelisk abandoned due to cracks during carving. The site provides insight into ancient Egyptian stoneworking techniques and ambitions.

Day 3 – Abu Simbel Temples Excursion

Abu Simbel Temples

On the third day, take a private excursion to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel Temples, located near the Sudanese border. These massive rock-cut temples were built by Ramses II to commemorate his reign and honor the gods. The Great Temple features colossal statues of Ramses II and intricate interior reliefs, while the smaller Temple of Hathor is dedicated to his queen, Nefertari.

The temples were famously relocated in the 1960s to avoid flooding from Lake Nasser, making the site a symbol of international cooperation in heritage preservation. Visiting Abu Simbel is a truly unforgettable experience, showcasing one of Egypt’s most impressive archaeological achievements.
