Embark on the Dahabiya and Explore Luxor’s Wonders

Valley of the Kings - Start your journey by exploring the Valley of the Kings, also known as the Valley of the Gates of the Kings. This Egyptian valley, used for nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, features rock-cut tombs created for the pharaohs and influential nobles of the New Kingdom.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next, proceed to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, an architectural marvel from the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Located opposite Luxor, this temple exemplifies the grandeur and innovation of ancient Egypt.

Colossi of Memnon - Capture memorable photos with the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These statues stand at the entrance of the now-ruined Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III, once the largest temple in the Theban Necropolis.

Temple of Karnak - Continue your visit to the Temple of Karnak, known as Ipet-isu, or “most select of places,” by the ancient Egyptians. This city of temples, built over 2,000 years, was dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. Despite its current state, it still surpasses many modern wonders and was truly awe-inspiring in its time.

Visit Edfu Temple and Sail to Kom Ombo

Temple of Horus - The Temple of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile in Edfu, Upper Egypt, was known in the Hellenistic period as Apollonopolis Magna, named after the chief god Horus, identified as Apollo in Greek interpretation.

Explore Kom Ombo Temple and Sail to Aswan

Temple of Kom Ombo - Situated in the town of Kom Ombo in the Aswan Governorate of Upper Egypt, the Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique double temple. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty between 180 and 47 BC, with additional enhancements during the Roman era.

Experience the Attractions of Aswan

Aswan High Dam - The Aswan High Dam, built between 1960 and 1970 across the Nile River in Aswan, Egypt, is the largest embankment dam in the world. This impressive structure has surpassed the earlier Aswan Low Dam, completed in 1902 downstream.

Temple of Philae - Philae is an island located in the reservoir created by the Aswan Low Dam, downstream of the modern Aswan High Dam and Lake Nasser, Egypt. Historically, Philae was near the significant First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt and was a key site for an ancient Egyptian temple complex.
