Tour Plan
Hotel Pickup
We will transport you from your hotel to the Luxor train station in the morning. Then, you will take a first-class train to Aswan, where your guided tour will be scheduled.
Aswan High Dam
The Aswan High Dam, which was built during the 1960s and 1970s, was a principal cause of the prosperity of Egypt in terms of cultural and economic aspects at the time.
The Unfinished Obelisk
However, the largest obelisk in the world was never completed because, during the carving process, a fracture occurred in the bedrock. This obelisk was to Queen Hatshepsut, and her golden gates were added to the divine entrance of the Karnak temple, dating back to 1508-1458 BC.
Lunch Time
Next, you will go to a local Aswan restaurant to have a delicious lunch. Following that, you will proceed to visit Philae Temple.
Philae Temple
The Philae Temple is a divine setting made of celestial stones that tells the story of Osiris, Horus, and Isis, the sacred trio. King Nectanebo I ordered the construction of the Philae Temple between 380 and 362 BC, making it one of the final temples to be completed during the Ptolemaic era in Egyptian history.
The very last step is to ride a train back to Luxor. Our representative will pick you up from the station and transfer you back to your hotel.
