Highlights

Transfer to Nile Cruise and Explore Luxor’s East Bank

Luxor Temple - The Luxor Temple is a stunning testament to the grandeur of Ancient Egyptian architecture and culture. Located on the eastern bank of the Nile River in modern-day Luxor (formerly Thebes), this breathtaking temple complex was built around 1400 BCE. In the ancient Egyptian language, it was known as “ipet resyt,” meaning “the southern sanctuary.”

Temple of Karnak - The Karnak Temple Complex, also known simply as Karnak, is an expansive collection of temples, pylons, chapels, and other structures near Luxor, Egypt. Its construction began during the reign of Senusret I (circa 1971–1926 BCE) in the Middle Kingdom period (circa 2000–1700 BCE) and continued into the Ptolemaic Kingdom era (305–30 BCE), though most of the existing structures date back to the New Kingdom period. The area around Karnak was of great religious importance in ancient Egypt, known as Ipet-isut, which translates to “The Most Selected of Places.” It was the main place of worship for the 18th Dynastic Theban Triad, with the deity Amun as its chief.

Hot Air Balloons Luxor - Embark on an incredible journey above Luxor, taking in the mesmerizing views of this ancient city from a hot air balloon. Marvel at the Statue of Thebes and other ancient wonders as they come to life in the gentle morning light, creating an unforgettable visual experience.

Valley of the Kings - The Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings, is a historic site nestled in a secluded valley. Over a span of about 500 years, from the 16th to the 11th century BC, artisans meticulously carved grand tombs into the natural rock formations. These sacred chambers were designed to honor and protect the remains of esteemed pharaohs and influential nobles from the illustrious New Kingdom era of ancient Egypt.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - The magnificent memorial temple honoring Pharaoh Hatshepsut is a striking example of the architectural brilliance of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Located near Luxor, this temple is celebrated worldwide for its extraordinary ancient engineering and design.

Colossi of Memnon - The Colossi of Memnon are a pair of immense stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These impressive figures stand proudly at the entrance of the weathered Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, a structure that once stood as the most magnificent temple in the Theban Necropolis.

Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples Tour - Aswan

Temple of Horus - The Edfu Temple, a revered sanctuary of ancient Egyptian heritage, graces the western shores of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt. In the Hellenistic period, it was known as “Apollonos polis” in Koinē Greek, while in Latin, it was called Apollonopolis Magna. This name honored the illustrious deity Horus, who was equated with Apollo through the interpretatio graeca.

Temple of Kom Ombo - The Kom Ombo Temple, an extraordinary dual sanctuary located in the town of Kom Ombo in Upper Egypt’s Aswan Governorate, has a storied past that dates back to the Ptolemaic dynasty, spanning from 180 to 47 BC. Further enhancements were made during the Roman era, adding to its architectural grandeur.

Philae Temple, High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk and One-Hour Felucca Ride

Temple of Philae - Located downstream of both the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser in Egypt, Philae is situated in the reservoir created by the Aswan Low Dam. Originally positioned near the expansive First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt, Philae was a significant site for an ancient Egyptian temple complex.

Aswan High Dam - The Aswan High Dam, previously known as the Aswan Dam, is the world’s largest embankment dam. Located in Aswan, Egypt, it was constructed between 1960 and 1970, spanning the Nile River. This monumental project surpassed the earlier Aswan Low Dam, which was initially completed downstream in 1902.

Unfinished Obelisk - The towering obelisk, a magnificent testament to ancient engineering, commands attention as the grandest of its kind ever discovered. Nestled within the historic stone quarries of Aswan, Egypt, in the northern expanse, this incomplete marvel offers a glimpse into the unparalleled craftsmanship of a distant age. In 1922, Reginald Engelbach undertook a painstaking examination of this awe-inspiring artifact.

Private Tour to Abu Simbel with Departure Transfer

Abu Simbel Temple Complex - Abu Simbel, an awe-inspiring archaeological complex, boasts two colossal temples intricately carved into the rock. Situated in the village of Abu Simbel, within the Aswan Governorate of Upper Egypt, it stands close to the Sudanese border.
