Tour Options
Itinerary
the largest and most significant religious center in ancient Egypt
known as the Southern Sanctuary to ancient Egyptians and dedicated to the renewal of kingship
burial site for 63 New Kingdom pharaohs, royal family members and nobility whose richly decorated chambers were furnished with every conceivable necessity for the after-life - from chariots, furniture and tools to food offerings, servants, statues and weapons
Built in the mid-15th century BC, this rather modern looking temple blends harmoniously into the limestone cliffs from which it is partly hewn and had twin functions: the main east-west axis served as the sanctuary of Amun-Ra’s barque (a vessel used in the after-life) while the north-south axis represented the life cycle of the pharaoh from coronation to rebirth

I did the 7 day Nile Luxury tour and it was incredible! I can’t say enough great things. Samir made it so easy to book. The tour guides were so, so helpful. I was by myself and they all took such great care of me’ They helped me add extra things to my tours and made stops at all the shops I wanted. They were so supportive when helping me get my PCR and when I had an issue at the airport. The trip was amazing and I loved everything I saw. The river cruise was so luxurious and the sunsets over he Nile were some of the most beautiful. The hot air balloon ride in Luxor is a must!!! Thank you so much Samir, Milad, George and the rest of the team!! I had an amazing team and can’t wait to return. I would 100% book again!
Thank you so much! Samir, Milad, George, and the team are thrilled that your solo 7-day luxury Nile cruise and Luxor hot air balloon ride were so incredible and supportive from start to finish. We can't wait to welcome you back for another 100% amazing trip!
I only had 6 days to see everything on my vacation. Samir helped set up my schedule and even reworked my plans when my flight unexpectedly cancelled. My travel plans were well planned and seamless. I met a guide at each new city. Every guide was on time, knowable and very helpful with any issues I had with buying things. Included in my fee: all entrance fees to all attractions, Cairo-Luxor flight, Aswan-Cairo Flight, Nile cruise, Cairo Dinner cruise. In Cairo, I saw Coptic Cairo, Salah El Din Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque and other significant structures, Pyramids of Giza with camel ride on the famous Charlie Brown, and Egyptian Museum. I flew to Luxor and toured east and west banks. Took a Nile cruise to upper Egypt stopping at Edfu, Komodor, temple of Philae, High Dam, unfinished Obelisk and other temples. I flew from Aswan back to Cairo. It was a jammed packed super fun time. I am a traveler from Oklahoma, USA.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled that Samir and the team could quickly reorganize your plans and make your 6-day trip seamless and fun. It was an absolute pleasure showing you the best of Egypt, from riding Charlie Brown at the Pyramids to cruising down the Nile. Safe travels back to Oklahoma, and we hope to welcome you back again!
