  1. Edfu Temple
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Explore the Temple of Horus in Edfu, an ancient Egyptian temple situated on the West Bank of the Nile in the city of Edfu, approximately one hour's drive south of Luxor. During Greco-Roman times, this temple was known as Apollonopolis Magna, in honor of the chief god Horus-Apollo.
  2. Kom Ombo Temple
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Next, discover the extraordinary double temple in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo, constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty and later expanded during the Roman period. This architectural wonder features a distinctive "double" design, with courts, halls, sanctuaries, and rooms duplicated to accommodate two sets of gods.
  3. Aswan High Dam
    2h · Admission ticket not included
    Conclude your day by visiting the High Dam, a monumental structure constructed in 1961 under the leadership of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. This dam plays a vital role in regulating the Nile River and preventing floods, contributing significantly to Egypt's development.

    Around 4:00 PM, you will be transferred to Aswan Hotel, a comfortable 4-star accommodation, where you will spend the night in Aswan. This day of exploration and cultural immersion will leave you with lasting memories of Egypt's rich history and architectural wonders.
Day 2: Enjoy Breakfast and a Day Tour to Abu Simbel from Aswan by Private Car

    Indulge in a hearty breakfast at your hotel, and prepare for an extraordinary adventure. Your knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up, and you'll embark on a journey to Abu Simbel via a comfortable private A/C vehicle. Your day of exploration commences with a visit to the awe-inspiring Temple of Abu Simbel, a colossal marvel constructed by Ramses II during the XIXth Dynasty.
