Itinerary

The Edfu Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple located in the city of Edfu in Upper Egypt. It is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt and was built during the Ptolemaic period between 237 and 57 BC. The temple is dedicated to the god Horus, the falcon-headed deity who was one of the most important gods in ancient Egyptian mythology. The Edfu Temple is a significant example of Egyptian temple architecture, featuring impressive pylons, courtyards, halls, and sanctuaries. The temple walls are adorned with intricate carvings and hieroglyphs, depicting scenes from Egyptian mythology, including the mythical battle between Horus and his enemy Seth.

Kom Ombo Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple located in the city of Kom Ombo, about 50 kilometers north of Aswan, Egypt. The temple is unique in that it is a double temple, dedicated to two different gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon god. The temple dates back to the Ptolemaic Dynasty, around the 2nd century BC, although it was built on the site of an earlier temple that may have existed as far back as the Old Kingdom period (c. 2686–2181 BC). It was later expanded during the Roman period, with additions made by emperors such as Augustus and Tiberius.

Philae Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple complex located on an island in the Nile River near the city of Aswan, in southern Egypt. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis, who was one of the most important deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. The temple complex was originally built during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, around 380-362 BC, but it was later expanded and modified by various pharaohs, including the Roman emperor Augustus. The temple was in use until the 6th century AD, when it was closed by the Byzantine Empire and later abandoned.

After this day tour, you will check into the Basma Hotel for a one-night stay.

Abu Simbel is an ancient temple complex located in southern Egypt, near the border with Sudan. The complex consists of two massive rock temples, both of which were built during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC. The temples are dedicated to various deities, including Ramesses II himself, as well as the goddess Hathor and the god Ptah. The exterior of the temples are decorated with intricate carvings and reliefs, depicting scenes from ancient Egyptian mythology and history, while the interior contains impressive statues and hieroglyphic inscriptions.

Have a delicious lunch at a restaurant in Aswan.

The Aswan High Dam is a large dam located on the Nile River in southern Egypt, near the city of Aswan. The dam was constructed between 1960 and 1970 as a joint project between Egypt and the Soviet Union, with the aim of controlling the flooding of the Nile, generating hydroelectric power, and increasing agricultural productivity in the region. The dam is over 3.8 kilometers long and 111 metres high, and it can hold up to 169 billion cubic metres of water. The creation of Lake Nasser, the reservoir formed behind the dam, required the relocation of over 100,000 people and the flooding of numerous archaeological sites, including the temple complex of Abu Simbel.

The Unfinished Obelisk is an ancient Egyptian monument located in the northern region of the stone quarries in Aswan. It was left unfinished due to a crack that appeared during its construction, providing valuable insights into the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to carve obelisks. After this magastic 2 day tour we will drop you back at your hotel in Marsa Alam.
