Tour Plan
Day One: Tour of Luxor Attractions
Hotel Pickup:
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and fly you to Luxor to begin your two-day Luxor & Aswan trip. Upon arrival at Luxor airport, your private Egyptologist guide will take you to visit the following Luxor attractions:
Valley of the Kings:
The mystical Valley of the Kings, hidden within a golden hill resembling the mythical ben-ben, served as the final resting place for many great kings, queens, and nobles from the New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC), including Ramses II, Seti I, Tutankhamen, and Hatshepsut. This site reveals immense archaeological and Egyptological significance from that golden era.
Hatshepsut Temple
The Hatshepsut Temple, an architectural marvel known as the holy of holies, features three massive terraces carved into the stone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Built during her reign (1479-1458 BCE), it was dedicated to Amun-Ra and serves to immortalize Queen Hatshepsut's life story and achievements.
Colossi of Memnon:
The Colossi of Memnon, standing as the golden guardians of Luxor since their construction by Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1353 BCE), offer insights into his family and their dedications to the Nile God Hapy. These statues have been rebuilt numerous times over the centuries.
Lunch Time:
Lunch will be served at an oriental restaurant with a view of the Nile. Afterward, join your private guide to continue the tour:
Karnak Temple:
The Karnak Temple Complex, Egypt's second most visited archaeological site, served as a religious capital in Thebes. Built over 2000 years from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic era, it was dedicated to the Theban triad of Mut, Montu, and Amun-Ra. The complex includes the Hypostyle Hall, various precincts, and the divine Avenue of Sphinxes.
Overnight:
After the day's tour, you'll be transferred to the train station to catch a first-class train to Aswan. Upon arrival, we'll take you to your 5-star hotel in Aswan for an overnight stay.
Day Two: Tour of Aswan Attractions
Morning:
After breakfast, you'll be picked up from your hotel to visit the following Aswan attractions with your private tour guide:
Aswan High Dam:
Constructed in the mid-1960s, the Aswan High Dam is a modern marvel that enabled Egypt to produce electricity and enter an era of innovation.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
This massive monolith, the largest ever created, was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut to immortalize her legacy. Standing at 137 feet and weighing a thousand tons, it remains in its bedrock after cracking during construction.
Philae Temple:
The Philae Temple was built to honor the goddess Isis, associated with motherhood, as well as her husband Osiris and their son Horus. Mostly constructed between 380-362 BC during the Ptolemaic era, it preserves the legendary tales of these deities.
Lunch Time:
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Aswan city.

I had a great time and I'm glad I got to go after all. The driver was professional, considerate, and friendly and we had a good time during the long drive to the temples and back before my flight home. Mr. Ali really cares about your experience and happiness in Egypt and he will go to great lengths to help you make the most of your stay! He was flexible with my schedule and helped to accomodate my needs even as my itinerary was changing! He called to check in during my trip and after as well to get feedback on my experience, showing excellent customer service. You will not regret booking an experience with Ali Voyage. I booked my trip on their website and he told me they are working on updating their system to make credit card payments possible on their website which is surely going to make it even more accessible to travellers. Thank you Ali Voyage! I recommend this travel agency 👍 👍 PS - I recommend getting a private car for the temples so you can avoid the massive crowds from the group tours and cruises.David A2023-12-25Awesome guide and driver Ali was very awesome guide, He took us to the best spot and very interesting !
