Day 1: travelling from Cairo to Luxor.
The first day of your trip starts as soon as you are picked up from your hotels in Cairo. You will then fly directly to Luxor, where you will have the chance to explore the city's beautiful attractions. Upon arrival, you will meet your professional Egypt tour guide, who will accompany you throughout the trip.Your wonderful day in Luxor will begin with the following:
First, the Valley of the Kings.
This is where ancient Egyptian kings were buried.
Because some of their pyramids had been robbed, they chose to hide their remains in secret tombs. These tombs were carved into the rock of the valley and were built underground.
The second site you will visit is the Hatshepsut Temple.
Queen Hatshepsut was one of Egypt's most powerful rulers and was known as Pharaoh.
She built the impressive Hatshepsut Temple, which is located on the west bank of Luxor at Deir El Bahari.
Next, you will be taken to the Colossi of Memnon.
These are two large statues that are famous for their size and their unique three faces.
The first face represents King Amenhotep III, the second is for his wife, Queen Tiye, and the third is for his mother, Queen Mutemwiya. These statues have been rebuilt several times throughout history.
After taking all the photos you want, it is time for lunch.
You will have your meal in a restaurant beside the Nile, where you can enjoy a peaceful view while you eat.
To end your day in Luxor, you will visit the last site, the Karnak Temple.
The Karnak Temple complex is famous for its large size and grandeur.
It was once the religious center of Thebes and remains one of the most important temples from ancient Egypt.
Your day will finish with a train journey to Aswan.

Day 2: tour in Aswan
Day 2: tour in Aswan
On the second day, start your day with a tasty breakfast and take some time to relax before beginning your tour of Aswan's main attractions. The first stop will be the famous High Dam in Aswan. This dam has several important functions; it produces electricity, prevents flooding in Egypt caused by the Nile River, and stores water to ensure there is enough during dry periods. Next, you will visit the unfinished obelisk. This monument was partially removed from the rock, but it was found that the granite was still attached to the main rock formation. Continuing the extraction would have been very risky as the ground was already starting to crack. Then, you will explore the Philae Temple.The temple walls depict the famous and well-known story of Osiris and his wife Isis, who hold an important place in Egyptian mythology. Book your visit now to experience this temple's rich history firsthand. Following this, you will enjoy a pleasant lunch at a local restaurant in Aswan. To conclude your trip, we will help you catch your flight back to Cairo, where you will be transferred to your hotels to finish your two-day Luxor and Aswan journey from Cairo.
