Overview
Two days. Five ancient wonders. One unforgettable journey through the heart of Upper Egypt.
This isn't just a tour — it's a time machine. From the moment your private, air-conditioned vehicle departs Luxor, you'll be tracing the sacred corridor of the Nile Valley that pharaohs once ruled. Watch the engineering marvel of the Esna Lock unfold before you, stand humbled inside the magnificent Temple of Horus at Edfu, and feel the mystical energy of Kom Ombo — a temple dedicated to two gods at once.
Overnight in Aswan, then rise before dawn for the crown jewel: Abu Simbel. Carved into solid rock by Ramesses the Great, these colossal temples exist on a scale that photos simply cannot prepare you for.
Two lunches, breakfast, hotel pickup, and a night's accommodation are all included — so you arrive focused on one thing only: absorbing 3,000 years of human history.
Please note: Guide fees and all site entrance fees are an additional cost payable on-site.
