Itinerary

Day 1 – Aswan Highlights: Philae Temple, High Dam & Unfinished Obelisk

Your 4 Day Aswan and Luxor Tour begins in Aswan.

At approximately 8:00 AM, your private guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise to begin exploring the highlights of Aswan.

Start with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, one of the most important engineering projects in modern Egyptian history. The dam transformed the relationship between Egypt and the Nile by helping control the annual floods and creating the enormous Lake Nasser.

Continue to Aswan’s ancient granite quarries to discover the Unfinished Obelisk. Still attached to the natural bedrock, this enormous monument provides a fascinating look at the techniques ancient Egyptian craftsmen used to carve and shape giant stone monuments.

Your next destination is one of Aswan’s most beautiful archaeological attractions: the Temple of Philae.

Take a short motorboat journey to Agilkia Island, where the temple now stands. Dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis, Philae was rescued from the rising waters surrounding the original island and carefully relocated as part of the international UNESCO Nubia Campaign.

Walk through the temple complex with your Egyptologist guide and discover its impressive columns, courtyards, reliefs, and fascinating history.

After completing your Aswan sightseeing tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel or Nile cruise.

Day 2 – Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan

Your second day begins early with approximately a 5:00 AM pickup from your hotel in Aswan.

Travel south through the desert toward Abu Simbel, one of the most impressive archaeological destinations in Egypt.

Standing near the shores of Lake Nasser are two spectacular temples built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II.

The Great Temple of Ramses II is famous for the four enormous seated statues dominating its façade. The temple was designed to demonstrate the power and status of one of ancient Egypt’s most famous pharaohs.

Nearby, visit the beautiful Temple of Hathor and Queen Nefertari, dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Queen Nefertari, the Great Royal Wife of Ramses II.

The story of Abu Simbel continued thousands of years after its construction. When the Aswan High Dam threatened the temples with submersion, an extraordinary international rescue project relocated the monuments to higher ground.

Your Egyptologist guide will help bring the history of Ramses II, Nefertari, and the temples to life as you explore this remarkable archaeological complex.

After your visit, travel back to Aswan, with expected arrival at your hotel at approximately 1:00 PM.

The remainder of the day is free.

Day 3 – Aswan to Luxor via Kom Ombo & Edfu

At approximately 6:00 AM, your private guide and driver will pick you up from your Aswan hotel to begin your journey north toward Luxor.

Rather than taking a direct transfer, your journey includes visits to two important ancient temples located between Aswan and Luxor.

Your first major archaeological stop is Kom Ombo Temple, beautifully positioned beside the Nile.

Kom Ombo is particularly unusual because it was designed as a double temple. One part was associated with Sobek, the crocodile god, while another was dedicated to Horus the Elder, represented as a falcon-headed deity.

Explore the temple with your Egyptologist guide and discover the fascinating reliefs and architectural details that make Kom Ombo different from many other temples in Egypt.

Continue north to Edfu Temple, one of the best-preserved ancient temples in the country.

Constructed during the Ptolemaic period, the temple was dedicated to Horus. Its monumental entrance, enormous courtyards, detailed inscriptions, sanctuary, and impressive walls provide an extraordinary insight into religious life during the Ptolemaic era.

After exploring Edfu Temple, continue your private journey to Luxor.

Upon arrival in Luxor, you will be transferred directly to your hotel.

Day 4 – Luxor Highlights: Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Karnak & Luxor Temple

Your final day begins at approximately 8:00 AM when your private Egyptologist guide and driver collect you from your hotel.

Begin by crossing to the West Bank of Luxor, home to some of the most important royal burial sites and monuments of ancient Thebes.

Your first major visit is the legendary Valley of the Kings.

For centuries, New Kingdom pharaohs chose this hidden valley as their royal burial ground. The mountains contain elaborately decorated tombs filled with inscriptions and scenes connected to ancient Egyptian beliefs about death and the afterlife.

Your guide will explain the fascinating history of the valley and its royal tombs as you explore this extraordinary archaeological landscape.

Continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari.

Built dramatically against the limestone cliffs of the Theban mountains, the temple is one of the most distinctive architectural achievements of ancient Egypt and commemorates the reign of Queen Hatshepsut.

Before leaving Luxor’s West Bank, stop beside the Colossi of Memnon. These two enormous seated statues once stood at the entrance of the vast mortuary temple of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

Continue across the Nile to Luxor’s East Bank.

Your next destination is the spectacular Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest and most important religious complexes constructed in ancient Egypt.

Walk through monumental gateways, courtyards, sanctuaries, obelisks, and the magnificent Great Hypostyle Hall while your Egyptologist guide explains how generations of pharaohs contributed to the complex.

Complete your four-day adventure at Luxor Temple, situated in the center of modern Luxor.

The temple becomes particularly atmospheric later in the day when its ancient columns, statues, and walls are illuminated.

After exploring Luxor Temple, you will be transferred back to your hotel, marking the end of your 4 Day Aswan and Luxor Tour.
