Day 1 - Travel to Aswan & City Sightseeing

Your journey begins with a morning pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in Luxor by your Tripora Tours guide. Set off in a comfortable private vehicle toward Aswan, a city known for its tranquil beauty and rich cultural heritage. Your sightseeing in Aswan includes: 🪨 Unfinished Obelisk – See this colossal structure that remains partly carved from solid granite. It offers insight into ancient quarrying techniques. 🌊 High Dam – Visit one of the 20th century’s most important engineering projects, built to control the Nile’s floods and generate electricity. 🏛 Philae Temple – Explore this stunning island temple dedicated to Isis, relocated stone-by-stone to protect it from rising waters after the construction of the High Dam. Later in the day, enjoy a scenic felucca ride to a traditional Nubian village, where you’ll discover the customs, colorful homes, and hospitality of Egypt’s indigenous people. After a day filled with exploration, you’ll check in to your Aswan hotel for a relaxing overnight stay. Included Meal: Lunch

Day 2 - Abu Simbel Temples Tour

After an early breakfast (or a breakfast box prepared by your hotel), your guide and driver will accompany you on the journey to Abu Simbel, located near the Sudanese border—about a 3-hour drive from Aswan. Here, you’ll visit one of the most awe-inspiring sites in all of Egypt: 🌞 Abu Simbel Temples Built by King Ramses II, these twin rock-cut temples are a masterpiece of ancient architecture and devotion. Great Temple of Ramses II – Also known as the Sun Temple, aligned so the sun illuminates the inner sanctuary twice a year. Temple of Queen Nefertari – Dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Ramses’ beloved wife, this smaller but equally stunning temple is a testament to love and power. The temples were famously relocated in the 1960s by UNESCO to save them from submersion due to the Aswan High Dam—a legendary feat of modern engineering and international cooperation. After exploring Abu Simbel, you’ll return to Aswan and begin your comfortable drive back to Luxor, arriving in the evening with lasting memories of southern Egypt’s ancient treasures. Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
