Itinerary
Your day begins with an early pickup from your hotel in Luxor by your private Egyptologist guide. Start your scenic drive along the Nile Valley heading south to the city of Edfu.
After your visit, continue driving along the Nile to Kom Ombo
After your visit, continue driving along the Nile to Kom Ombo, a unique double temple dedicated to the falcon-headed god Haroeris and the crocodile god Sobek. Admire its symmetrical design, healing chambers, and beautifully carved columns. You will also have time to explore the nearby Crocodile Museum before heading to Aswan.
Arrive in Aswan for lunch in a local restaurant.
After your visit, continue driving along the Nile to Aswan
After your meal, board a small motorboat to reach the enchanting Philae Temple, located on Agilkia Island. Enjoy a guided tour exploring its sacred halls, colorful reliefs, and serene surroundings. Learn about the temple’s relocation by UNESCO to protect it from the High Dam’s rising waters.
You will see the High Dam. The Problem: The Nile was unpredictable; sometimes it flooded Egypt, and other times it dried it up with drought. The Epic: In the 1960s, with unwavering Egyptian resolve, a granite mountain was carved into the middle of the river with Soviet assistance, and historic temples were relocated to save them from being submerged. The Victory: In 1971, the dam was completed; it tamed the river, brought electricity to Egypt's homes, and protected the land from the treachery of nature forever.
After completing your visits, you will be comfortably transferred to your hotel in Aswan or Aswan Airport, concluding a memorable journey through Egypt’s ancient wonders.

About Luxor
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.
On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
