Tour Plan
Day 1: Fly to Aswan - Visit Abu Simbel Temples
We will transfer to the airport in Cairo before dawn. You can fly to Aswan in the morning. On arrival, your Egyptologist guide will be waiting for you, and you will visit the stunning Abu Simbel Temples together.
Temples of Abu Simbel: In 1264 BC, the Temple of Ramesses, dedicated to Amun, was built near Aswan over 20 years ago and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Abu Simbel Temples were also constructed in his honor, reflecting his divine status alongside Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty, Ptah, and his wife Nefertari.
Lunch meal: After the trip to the Abo Simbel site, at a local Oriental restaurant in Aswan, the lunch menu will be served.
After lunch, we will check into the hotel and stay there for the night.
Day 2: Luxor Attractions - Returning to Cairo
After breakfast at the hotel, you and your guide head to the Aswan train station to take a first-class train to Luxor. Once there, you will explore the city's magnificent temples and burial sites.
The Valley of the Kings: The souls of over 63 monarchs from Egypt's Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties are believed to have been reborn in the Theban Golden City, known for its golden gate. This site showcases that period's spiritual practices, funeral rites, and artistic achievements.
Temple of Hatshepsut: Queen of Hatshepsut Temple(1508–1458 BC) is an exceptional architectural wonder built to honor her legacy and house the Barque of the god Amun-Re. Its stunning design captures the Pharaoh's journey from coronation to rebirth.
Colossi of Memnon:The Colossi of Memnon are impressive 18-meter frosted quartz statues carved by Amenhotep III around 1350 BC. They honor the Greek king Memnon, his mother Tiye, and the noble Mutmeiya.
Lunch Meal: will be served at a riverside restaurant, followed by a private guided tour of the Nile River.
Temple of Karnak: The world's largest and oldest religious complex was built between 2000 and 30 BC by various kings from the Ptolemaic dynasty and the Middle and New Kingdoms. Located in the center of Thebes, it honors the sacred bulls of ancient Egypt, especially the Theban Triad: Amun-Re, Mut, and Montu, during the 18th dynasty.
Once the tour is over, you should embark on your journey by plane to Cairo and then to your hotel.
