2 Days Aswan, Abu Simble & Luxor from Cairo

This 2-day tour flies travelers from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan for a fast-paced look at Abu Simbel, Philae Temple, the Aswan High Dam, and Luxor's major East and West Bank temples in just two days.

After a very early pickup and a flight from Cairo to Luxor, the group tours Luxor's West Bank (Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's terraced temple, Colossi of Memnon) and East Bank (Luxor and Karnak temples), then drives to Aswan, where the next morning begins at 4 AM for the drive to Abu Simbel to see the colossal rock-cut temples of Ramesses II and the Temple of Nefertari.

Back in Aswan, the itinerary covers the High Dam and Philae Temple's island sanctuary, before an evening flight from Aswan back to Cairo.

The package includes one night of accommodation in Aswan at a 4-star hotel, all tours and excursions by air-conditioned vehicle, two flights covering Cairo to Luxor and Aswan to Cairo, one breakfast and two lunches, all transfers in Luxor and Aswan, meet-and-assist service at each destination, and a multilingual Egyptologist guide, with taxes and services included in the price; entrance fees to the main sites, tipping, personal spending, and any tours not listed are not included.

Given its early departures and tight two-day pace, this trip suits travelers with very limited time who still want to combine Abu Simbel with Luxor's headline temples in one condensed trip from Cairo.
