  • Morning time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo, then transfer you to Cairo airport and catch your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, take the chance to enjoy the exploration of the ancient city of Luxor and its impressive architectural heritage monuments, starting with: The Valley of the Kings
    The rulers of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of Egypt’s prosperous New Kingdom (c.1550–1069 BC) were buried in a desolate dry river valley across the river from the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), hence its modern name of the Valley of the Kings.
    The Temple of Hatshepsut
    Hatshepsut (c.1473–1458 BC), the queen who became Pharaoh, built a magnificent temple at Deir al-Bahari, on the west back of Luxor. It lies directly across the Nile from Karnak Temple, the main sanctuary of the god Amun.
    The Colossi of Memnon
    These two faceless colossi (the plural of colossus, which just means larger-than-life statue) are the first thing visitors see when they reach the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor..
    The Complex of Karnak Temples
    Built over two millennia between the years of around 2200 and 360 BCE, Karnak is a massive Ancient Egyptian temple complex that was one of the country's most important places of worship under the rules of Hatshepsut, Seti I, Ramesses II and Ramesses III.
    The Temple of Luxor
    Luxor Temple, Ipet‑resyt “Southern Sanctuary” to the ancient Egyptians, was so called because of its location within ancient Thebes (modern Luxor).
    After finishing your fantastic tour, you will be driven to Luxor rail way station to catch your first-class train to Aswan as soon as you arrive our representative will take you to your hotel to check in and overnight in Aswan.
  • In the morning, breakfast meals will be taken in boxes so that you check-out your hotel and then you will be transferred in a private air-conditioned car to Abu Simbel. Upon your arrival, you will join your tour guide who will accompany you while visiting:
    Abu Simbel Temples
    Abu Simbel temple complex includes 2 individual temples that were built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramsis II. The great temple was built for the king himself to commemorate his coronation and his birthday and it has been built in a very impressive accurate way which makes the whole world await the Sun Festival that occurs only twice a year in the great temple of the Pharaoh to witness the miracle that occurs there. The smaller temple was built as a sign of love & appreciation from the king to his beloved queen Nefertari putting in mind that she was the only wife of the king for whom he has built a temple.
