First Stop: Aswan High Dam
Built in the 1960s, this impressive dam transformed Egypt’s future by generating power and controlling Nile floods.
Next: The Unfinished Obelisk
Get a glimpse into ancient construction techniques and imagine what could have been Egypt’s largest obelisk—commissioned by the powerful Queen Hatshepsut but left incomplete due to a crack.
Then: The Enchanting Philae Temple
Set on a peaceful island, Philae is dedicated to the goddess Isis and is one of Egypt’s most beautifully preserved temples. Rescued from rising waters by UNESCO, it now rests on Agilkia Island—a true open-air museum.
After your day of discovery, we’ll treat you to lunch at a local restaurant before checking you in at a comfy 5-star hotel for a relaxing overnight stay in Aswan.
Meals: Lunch
Overnight: 5-star hotel in Aswan
We’ll start early today—but trust us, it’s worth it! After grabbing your breakfast box, we’ll set off on a scenic drive to the legendary Abu Simbel Temples.
The Abu Simbel Experience
Carved into the mountainside by Ramses II, these temples are jaw-dropping in both size and history. Twice a year, a magical event happens here—the Sun Festival—when sunlight floods the inner sanctum, illuminating the statues of the gods. Even if you're not there during the festival, just standing in front of these masterpieces is awe-inspiring.
After exploring, we’ll head back to Aswan for lunch, then catch the train back to Luxor, where your private car will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Hurghada.
