Itinerary
you will be transferred by private a/c vehicle to Edfu City, where you will visit the Temple of Horus in Edfu. The Temple of Edfu is an ancient Egyptian temple located on the West Bank of the Nile in the city of Edfu around an 1 hour south of Luxor It was known in Greco-Roman times as Apollonopolis Magna, after the chief god Horus-Apollo. Edfu is one of the best preserved temples in Egypt.
After you have completed your visit to Edfu, continue driving to Kom Ombo City where you will visit the Temple of Kom Ombo. It is an unusual double temple built during the Ptolemaic Dynasty in the Egyptian town of Kom Ombo. Some additions to it were made later during the Roman Period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries, and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods.
Continue driving towards Aswan where you will have lunch in a local restaurant. After lunch you will be transferred to Phila Temple that was an island in Lake Nasser, Egypt. It was formerly an island in the first cataract of the Nile River and the previous site of an Ancient Egyptian temple complex in southern Egypt.

I had an absolutely fantastic time during my recent visit! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The ambiance was perfect—relaxing, clean, and beautifully maintained.
It was a wonderful experience they treat me very well . I felt like a queen from the time I arrived until the time I left. ❤❤ 🥰
Mohamed was an outstanding guide. His deep knowledge of ancient Egypt is exactly what we were looking for. He was thorough, engaging,and also very attentive to our needs, which we really appreciated. We will use him again when we return! Highly recommended:).
Egypt, and Luxor in particular, were amazing but the highlight of our trip was getting to know our guide Mohamed and Ahmed our driver. They made sure our trip ran perfectly! We especially loved that they helped us understand Egyptian culture and took us to see things tourists don't always get to see. Mohamed was always flexible with regard to schedule and his passion for ancient Egyptian culture was very evident. Other guides would tell us we had one of the best guides around and we sure felt that way. Restaurants Mohamed chose for us also had great food and unique ambiance. We went to Egypt for a great trip and left with great memories and a new friend!
We took a 2 day trip from Hurghada to see the temples of Karnak, Luxor, and the valley of the Kings at a cost of 175 USD per person (excluding drinks and tips), for a party of 6. When you book, please remember that costs are rising rapidly in Egypt and that prices are likely to increase to reflect the increase in cost of living. If you are planning on a trip, I can heartily recommend this company! The good: We had an English speaking guide called Mo, who studies Egyptology and hieroglyphs, has 140k followers on facebook ( no surprise!) and was completely passionate about his topic and super engaging- Mo made several suggestions and was spot on! As an example, he noticed my parents were struggling with the heat at Karnak, so suggested we do an evening trip to Luxor and give them time for a rest- which was much appreciated! He also suggested a stop at Dandara on the way back which was very worthwhile. A decent guide really makes all the difference and Mo really was fantastic! The bad: We had booked for a sunrise balloon trip but this was cancelled because of the wind. However, the company offered to let us stay an extra night and try the next day or have this part of the trip refunded, and they were very professional in how they handled this. The 3* hotel we stayed in at Luxor was noisy and not that comfortable but was completely fine for the night- if this concerns you ask them to book you into a better place (for us the budget was also part of it). I would book with them again tomorrow!
Whenever I'm visiting a new place to get a feel for it's culture, it's history, and the food I always go for accredited guided tours - and I got the best tour guide I've come across. Sarah El Shater is not just an excellent guide, she's also a real-life Egyptologist, and an educator too. Well, at least I was taught a bit of ancient Egyptian history, it's nuances, the politics, and intracacies that otherwise I wouldn't have just by looking at old monuments and historic places. Sarah's thorough understanding (did I mention she's an actual Egyptologist?!) of her work and her willingness to make my experience the best left a long-lasting impression. 10/10 would recommend requesting Sarah for a tour of Luxor whenever you're in town!
Best tour guide I have had. Everything was organized perfectly (accomodation, shuttles, lunch/dinner, archeological sites) and I can’t recommend this experience enough!
Mohomad was our tour agent . He helped us in each and every manner. His services were very good and according to our requirements. He arranged a very good transport service for us. His guides were very informative and helpful. We enjoyed our tour maximum.
Great tour and great guide! My sister and I felt safe and totally immersed in Egyptian history. I highly recommend relying on them!
A dream. If you want to have a beautiful trip come here. The guides are good and explain very well. It's like entering a fairy tale.
