Day 1: Luxor’s East and West Bank Treasures

Your adventure begins in Luxor, a city often referred to as the “world’s greatest open-air museum.” The day is dedicated to exploring the legendary East and West Banks of the Nile.

Morning Marvels at the Karnak Temple Complex: Start your exploration at the colossal Karnak Temple Complex, a sprawling site that was built over centuries by various pharaohs. Wander through the towering hypostyle hall with its 134 massive columns, marvel at the intricate hieroglyphs, and feel the sheer scale of this ancient religious center. This site offers a profound glimpse into the power and devotion of ancient Egyptian civilization.
Lunch with a View: Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, perhaps with views of the Nile, recharging for the afternoon’s adventures.
Journey to the Valley of the Kings: Cross the Nile to the West Bank, the necropolis of the ancient pharaohs. Your destination is the world-renowned Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of rulers like Tutankhamun were discovered. Descend into these elaborately decorated underground chambers, marveling at the vibrant paintings and intricate carvings that depict scenes from the afterlife.
Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Temple: Continue your exploration of the West Bank with a visit to the stunning Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. This unique temple, built into the cliffs, is a testament to the power and ambition of one of Egypt’s few female pharaohs. Its elegant terraces and colonnades are a striking contrast to the traditional temple designs.
Colossi of Memnon: Before returning to your accommodation, make a brief stop to admire the colossal statues of Amenhotep III, known as the Colossi of Memnon. These towering figures stand as silent sentinels guarding the entrance to the pharaoh’s mortuary temple.

Day 2: Aswan’s Nile and Ancient Engineering

Today, you’ll travel south to Aswan, a city known for its serene beauty and significant ancient sites.

Sailing to Philae Temple: Start your day with a scenic boat ride to the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This stunning temple was relocated stone by stone to its current island location to save it from flooding after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Its picturesque setting and well-preserved carvings make it a truly captivating site.
The Unfinished Obelisk: Gain insight into the ancient Egyptians’ incredible engineering skills at the site of the Unfinished Obelisk. This massive obelisk, still attached to the bedrock, provides a fascinating glimpse into the techniques used to quarry and transport these monumental structures.
The Aswan High Dam: Witness a modern marvel of engineering at the Aswan High Dam. This monumental dam controls the flooding of the Nile and created Lake Nasser, a vast reservoir. While perhaps less visually stunning than the ancient sites, it’s a crucial part of modern Egypt’s infrastructure and history.
Felucca Ride on the Nile: Experience the timeless charm of the Nile with a relaxing felucca ride. Sail peacefully on the traditional wooden sailboat, taking in the scenic views of the riverbanks, Elephantine Island, and the Aga Khan Mausoleum. This is a perfect way to unwind and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of Aswan.
Departure: As your unforgettable 2-day tour concludes, you’ll be transferred for your departure, carrying with you memories of ancient wonders and the enduring beauty of the Nile.
