Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Fly from Cairo to Aswan and see the sights of Aswan.
We will collect you from your Cairo hotel early in the morning in a private air-conditioned vehicle and transport you to Cairo airport for your trip to Aswan. Upon arrival in Aswan, meet your tour guide and begin your adventure by viewing Aswan tourist spots such as:
The High Dam: It was erected between 1960 and 1970 in Aswan, Egypt, over the Nile River. It has had a profound impact on Egypt’s economy and culture.
The Unfinished Obelisk: Ancient Egypt’s biggest obelisk. It was commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to accompany the Lateran Obelisk (which was initially located at Karnak Temple) and then transported to Rome’s Lateran Palace.
Temple of Philae: The goddess Isis of Love and Beauty is honored in Philae Temple. Before the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970, the temple complex was demolished and transported to adjacent Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign mission to safeguard it and other sites.
Enjoy your beautiful meal at the conclusion of the day, then move to a 5* hotel in Aswan for the night.
Day 2: Tour of the Stunning Abu Simbel Temple – Return to Cairo
Check out of the hotel and get your breakfast boxes early in the morning, after which we will drive you to Abu Simbel in a private A/C vehicle with your private tour guide to continue your journey.
Temples of Abu Simbel: The two Temples of Abu Simbel are regarded as marvels of ancient Egypt because of their distinctive design. They are a reflection of Egypt’s new Kingdom’s splendor and magnificence.
Abu Simbel is home to two huge rock temples. The twin temples were cut out of the hillside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC as a permanent memorial to himself and his wife Nefertari for their victory in the Battle of Kadesh.
Transfer back to Aswan for lunch before catching your flight back to Cairo and being transferred to your hotel. Note: You are welcome to express your ideas on whether or not any trips should be included or removed from your tour schedule to satisfy your requirements and meet your demands.
