Luxor and Aswan Overnight Trip from Cairo

During your overnight trip to Luxor and Aswan from Cairo, our Day Tours Egypt representative will collect you from your Cairo hotel and take you to Cairo International Airport for your flight to Luxor. Upon arrival, you will begin one of our finest Egypt day tours and excursions from Cairo. Your personal tour guide will meet you at Luxor airport to start your Luxor west bank tours, which include the following:

Colossi of Memnon:

These are the colossal statues of King Amenhotep III, which resemble the statues of King Ramses II found at the Temple of Abu Simbel, which is carved into the mountain.

Temple of Deir el-Bahri:

This temple was built during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most beautiful temples in Luxor.

It was constructed by the strong female Pharaoh Hatshepsut during the 18th dynasty and was dedicated to the worship of Amun Ra, who was the most important god in ancient Egypt.

Valley of the Kings:

You will enjoy the west bank tours in Luxor by visiting the Valley of the Kings, which was the funerary necropolis for kings of the new kingdom, instead of constructing large pyramids as was done during the old kingdom period.

It contains more than 60 tombs carved by pharaohs from the reign of King Thutmosis of the 18th dynasty, and during the 19th and 20th dynasties. The Valley of the Kings gained worldwide fame due to the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter, which was found completely intact and was one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century.

Your tour will then continue to the east bank of Luxor to visit the Karnak Temple Complex:

The Karnak Temple is regarded as the most significant man-made religious center in the world.

It is the largest temple in Egypt, and even today, its remains are still visible. The temple complex is enclosed within an area of 2,400 meters, surrounded by a massive wall that is 8 meters thick.

After completing your Luxor excursions, you will be taken back to your hotel in Luxor for the night.

Meals: Lunch.

First, our English-speaking tour guide will meet you at the hotel lobby in Luxor to take you to the start of your exciting excursions in Aswan, which include the following highlights:

The Unfinished Obelisk:

This massive stone structure was carved during the time of Queen Hatshepsut, intended to be the largest obelisk in Egypt.

It would have reached a height of approximately 41 meters, but it was never completed or used. The obelisk remained unfinished following the queen's death. Queen Hatshepsut ruled Egypt for 20 years, a period marked by significant victories in military campaigns, as well as important economic and political reforms.

The High Dam:

Constructed in 1960 by former President Gamal Abdel Nasser, this dam was one of the most significant engineering projects in modern Egyptian history.

It provides the country with a reliable source of electricity and helps prevent annual flooding of Egyptian lands caused by the rising levels of the Nile River.

The Majestic Temple of Philae:

Originally situated on the island of Philae in the middle of the Nile River, the Temple of Philae was dedicated to the worship of the goddess Isis and was built around 3 BC.

Due to the construction of the High Dam, which threatened to flood the area, the temple was relocated to the island of Agilika to preserve it from damage.

After you have completed your sightseeing in Aswan, you will be transported to Aswan International Airport for your departure to Cairo.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch.
