4 Days trip to Luxor Aswan and Abu Simbel from Sahl Hasheesh
Day 1 / East Bank of Luxor

Enjoy your first day exploring the East Bank of Luxor, a region rich in history and monumental treasures. After a scenic drive from  Salh Hasheesh  , you’ll arrive in Luxor,

 

where you’ll begin your journey at the magnificent Karnak Temple. Spanning over 200 acres, this vast temple complex is one of the largest religious sites in the world, featuring towering columns and intricate hieroglyphics that tell the stories of ancient Egyptian deities and pharaohs.

 

After immersing yourself in the grandeur of Karnak, indulge in a delicious lunch at a nearby local restaurant, savoring traditional Egyptian dishes that showcase the region’s rich culinary heritage.

 

In the afternoon, visit the Luxor Temple, a stunning site dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship, where you can marvel at its impressive statues and captivating reliefs.

 

After a full day of exploration, return to your hotel in Luxor, reflecting on the remarkable history you’ve experienced . 

Day 2 / West Bank of Luxor

On your second day, prepare for an in-depth exploration of Luxor’s West Bank, where the history of ancient Egypt unfolds.

 

After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, you’ll cross the Nile to the Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of many of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore several elaborately decorated tombs, including that of the legendary Tutankhamun.

 

As you walk through the cool, dimly lit chambers, take in the stunning wall paintings and intricate carvings that depict scenes from the afterlife, offering a glimpse into the beliefs and rituals of the ancient Egyptians. Next, you’ll visit the Temple of Hatshepsut, a stunning mortuary temple built for Egypt’s only female pharaoh.

 

The temple, set against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, showcases impressive architecture and beautifully crafted reliefs that tell the story of Hatshepsut’s reign and her remarkable accomplishments. After absorbing the history and significance of these sites,

 

you’ll stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that once guarded the entrance to Amenhotep III’s mortuary temple. Standing in their imposing presence, you’ll feel the weight of history surrounding you.

 

Following your day of exploration, you’ll enjoy a satisfying lunch at a local restaurant, sampling the diverse and flavorful dishes of Egyptian cuisine. As the sun begins to set, you’ll take a relaxing felucca boat ride on the Nile,

 

where you can unwind and enjoy the serene beauty of the river and its lush banks. This tranquil experience is the perfect way to reflect on your day.

Day 3 / Aswan Highlights

On your third day, you’ll embark on a journey from Luxor to Aswan, a city renowned for its breathtaking scenery and rich historical significance.

 

After enjoying a delightful breakfast and checking out from your Luxor hotel, you’ll set off for Aswan, which is approximately a 3-hour drive along the banks of the Nile. Your first stop in Aswan will be the Aswan High Dam, a remarkable feat of engineering that plays a crucial role in controlling the Nile’s waters and transforming the region’s agricultural landscape.

 

Here, you’ll learn about the dam’s construction, its impact on Egypt’s economy, and its role in generating hydroelectric power. Following your visit to the dam, you’ll take a boat to Philae Island, home to the stunning Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis.

 

As you explore this beautifully preserved temple, you’ll be captivated by the intricate reliefs and hieroglyphics that narrate the myths of Isis and Osiris. The serene setting of the island, with its lush gardens and clear blue waters, adds to the magic of this site.

 

After a day filled with exploration, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can indulge in authentic Egyptian dishes that reflect the flavors of the region.

 

Spend your evening wandering through the vibrant Aswan Market, where you can interact with local vendors, shop for spices and textiles, and soak in the lively atmosphere of this bustling market before returning to your hotel to unwind.

Day 4 / Abu Simbel Temples

On your final day, prepare for a breathtaking excursion to the iconic Abu Simbel temples, one of Egypt’s most remarkable archaeological sites.

 

After an early breakfast, set off on a scenic drive through the picturesque desert landscape, which takes approximately three hours. Upon arrival, marvel at the monumental temples carved into the mountainside by Pharaoh Ramses II.

 

These magnificent structures are adorned with colossal statues that embody the grandeur of ancient Egypt and its divine kingship. Explore the intricately decorated interiors, where you’ll find stunning wall reliefs that tell the story of Ramses II’s life and victories.

 

The incredible history of how these temples were relocated to avoid rising waters from the Aswan High Dam adds to their significance. After your exploration, savor a leisurely lunch at a nearby restaurant, reflecting on the extraordinary sites you’ve visited during your journey.

 

After lunch, you’ll return to  Salh Hasheesh  , filled with unforgettable memories of your exploration of Egypt’s ancient treasures.
