Day One: Transfer to Aswan Attractions

In the early morning, we will pick you up from your hotel by a private modern AC car, which will transfer you to Luxor. Afterward, you will catch a 1st class train from Luxor to Aswan. Once you arrive, your private professional tour guide will meet and greet you, and then he will take you to:

The High Dam

The High Dam is one of the greatest and newest constructions in the history of Aswan. Between 1960 and 1970, the Egyptian government in association with the Soviet Union constructed the dam to protect the country from the danger of floods. Moreover, it serves to store water that is used for irrigation and to generate electricity.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Next, you will visit the Unfinished Obelisk, which is one of the largest constructions that never saw the light of day. Constructed between 1508 BC and 1458 BC, this colossal obelisk was intended to stand at the Great Karnak Temple, but unfortunately, it cracked during construction.

Philae Temple

Following that, you will explore the mesmerizing Philae Temple, the most unique temple from the Ptolemaic era of ancient Egypt. 

Built between 380-362 BC, it served as a worship center for Isis, the deity of motherhood and healing. What makes Philae special is the amazing wall painting that reveals the myth of Osiris. Afterward, you will enjoy your lunch and then check into your 5-star hotel for an overnight stay.


Day Two: Tour to Abu Simbel Temple

On the second day, in the early morning, you will take your breakfast boxes and head with your tour guide to the magnificent:

Abu Simbel Temples

One of the most captivating temples ever built in the history of Egypt is the Abu Simbel Temple. Constructed in 1200 BC by order of Pharaoh Ramses the Great (1292-1186 BC), these temples were designed to immortalize his victories and achievements. 

Additionally, they showcase his loyalty to the gods during the sun festival on the 22nd of February and October, as well as his love and affection for his wife, Nefertari.

Finally, you will have your lunch before catching a train to Luxor. Subsequently, you will transfer by private car to your hotel in Soma Bay, thus concluding your two-day trip from Soma Bay to Aswan and Abu Simbel.
