Embark on an unforgettable adventure from Luxor to Aswan, where the enduring legacy of ancient Egypt is carved into stone and echoed through time. This private day trip is the perfect way to witness the architectural marvels and captivating history of Aswan, one of Egypt’s most charming and historically rich cities.
With Your Egypt Tours, your journey will be both comfortable and enriching. Enjoy exclusive service with a private Egyptologist tour guide and modern air-conditioned vehicle, ensuring a personalized and seamless experience from start to finish.
Your adventure begins with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in Luxor to the train station, where you’ll board a first-class train heading south to the beautiful city of Aswan. Sit back and enjoy the scenic ride along the Nile as the landscape slowly shifts toward Aswan's unique charm.
Upon arrival, your expert Egyptologist guide will be waiting to take you on a journey through some of the most iconic sites in the city:
First Stop: Aswan High Dam
Built between the 1960s and 70s, the High Dam is a modern engineering marvel that dramatically reshaped Egypt’s economy and protected the Nile Valley from flooding. It's an incredible symbol of progress in the heart of ancient lands.
Next: The Unfinished Obelisk
Step into the world of ancient craftsmanship at the site of the Unfinished Obelisk—the largest known obelisk ever attempted. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, it remains partially carved into the bedrock after cracks halted its construction. It's a fascinating glimpse into how these towering monuments were created.
Lunch Break:
Recharge with a delicious lunch at a local Aswan restaurant, where you’ll get to sample authentic Egyptian cuisine in a relaxed setting.
Final Visit: Philae Temple
Your last stop is the enchanting Philae Temple, a sacred site dedicated to the goddess Isis. Set on an island and surrounded by the Nile’s waters, this ancient sanctuary is steeped in myth and legend, telling the eternal story of Isis, Osiris, and Horus. Built during the reign of King Nectanebo I, it’s one of the last great temples of ancient Egypt.
After a full day of exploring Aswan’s highlights, you’ll board your train back to Luxor, where we’ll transfer you directly to your hotel.

Being in Luxor for a single day is preferable to staying away. The main attractions in Luxor may be seen in one day. You can go to Hatshepsut Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and possibly one or two other monuments on a day excursion to Luxor. The truthful response would be that a day trip to Luxor is insufficient.
It is frequently described as the largest open-air museum in the world and for a good cause. You may find a ton of ruins, monuments, temples, and tombs there. You'll need at least two days of Egypt day tours to discover all that Luxor has to offer without feeling rushed.
Unless you travel with a tour group, visiting Luxor on your own can be rather stressful. Luxor has so many archaeological sites and things to do that touring each temple and cemetery may take several days and a lot of money!
There are no set meter rates for cabs in Luxor, although depending on your negotiation skills, the majority of journeys will cost between 5 and 150 Egyptian pounds (approximately $0.50 to $17). Uber and other ride-hailing services are not available in Luxor.
You should set aside about $200 for Luxor excursions, which would likely involve visiting the Luxor and Karnak Temples. West Bank Temples and the Valley of Kings and Queens. Felucca rides at sunset.

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
