Book the tour

The first day focuses on Aswan’s top cultural treasures. Your day begins with a visit to the Philae Temple, beautifully located on Agilkia Island. Known for its graceful architecture and peaceful courtyards, Philae is one of Egypt’s most picturesque temples and was carefully relocated to save it from flooding after the construction of the High Dam. The temple’s carvings and columns celebrate the goddess Isis and reveal stories from ancient Egyptian mythology.

In the afternoon, you will travel by boat to a Nubian Village, a vibrant community where you can experience the colorful homes, warm hospitality, and unique traditions of the Nubian people. This visit offers an authentic glimpse into the local way of life, far from the typical tourist areas, and provides the chance to meet local families and learn about their culture, crafts, and history.

On the second day, the tour continues toward Luxor with essential stops along the Nile. The first is the Temple of Kom Ombo, a unique double temple dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon god. The temple’s twin design, intricate reliefs, and the Crocodile Museum make it one of the most fascinating sites along the river. After Kom Ombo, you will visit the Temple of Edfu, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Dedicated to Horus, the temple offers towering pylons, beautifully decorated walls, and impressive halls that vividly illustrate religious ceremonies and ancient myths.

The third day is dedicated to exploring Luxor’s most iconic landmarks. The day begins at Karnak Temple, the largest temple complex in Egypt. Its massive hypostyle hall, sacred lake, and countless statues make it a true open-air museum where you can walk through centuries of Egyptian history. The tour continues across the Nile to the West Bank, where you will visit the Valley of the Kings. This famous royal burial ground is home to the richly decorated tombs of ancient pharaohs, where the vibrant wall paintings remain remarkably well preserved after thousands of years.

This 3-Day Aswan & Luxor Highlights Tour is designed to offer a balanced and well-paced experience, allowing you to deeply explore each site without rushing. It’s perfect for travelers seeking to cover the most important attractions in southern Egypt in a comprehensive, private journey.
