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.

Absolutely mind blowing. A definite must see. We flew from Aswan after I contact them, as I did not want to sit in car for hours with my 10-year-old daughter. Just so much history and ancient love. You cannot miss this one thing if you are in Cairo. The rocks are just HUGE, so special.
I recently traveled with my wife, daughter, son in law and two grandsons (ages 4 and 2). We had a private tour experience. From the moment we landed at the airport on our arrival to the day we left we were treated with the utmost care and attention
Our trip to was wonderful. The accommodations and travel was seamlessly arranged by customer service rep, Mona, and we visited so many of the famous Egyptian antiquities. I would not have done the trip without the very knowledgeable guides, Ashraf and Mamdouh
