Two Days Luxor Abu Simbel Trips From Cairo

From$735/ person
Free Cancellation

Overview

Uncover ancient Egypt's grandeur on a 2-day private tour to Luxor and Abu Simbel from Cairo. Explore iconic temples and tombs with an expert Egyptologist.

This two-day trip flies from Cairo to Aswan, covers Abu Simbel and Luxor's major temples, then flies back from Luxor, giving Cairo-based travelers a compact way to reach Upper Egypt's most distant sites. A private Egyptologist guide accompanies the group for both days, with hotel pickup and drop-off arranged in Cairo.

The first day flies south to Aswan and continues directly to Abu Simbel, where the rock-cut temples carved for Ramses II sit near the far edge of the Nile Valley. After an overnight stay in Aswan, the second day begins with a first-class train journey north to Luxor, where the group visits the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank before crossing to the Karnak Temple Complex and flying back to Cairo.

Round-trip domestic flights, the Aswan-to-Luxor train ticket, one night's accommodation in an Aswan hotel with breakfast, two lunches, private air-conditioned transportation, and entrance fees to every archaeological site on the itinerary are included in the price.

Gratuities for the guide, driver, and other service personnel are not covered. With flights bookending the trip and a single overnight stop, this itinerary suits travelers who want Abu Simbel and Luxor's temples covered together rather than as two separate side trips from Cairo.

Abu Simbel Temples

Your grand adventure begins with an early morning transfer to Cairo International Airport for a domestic flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, your dedicated Egyptologist guide will greet you, and together we'll embark on a comfortable private transfer to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel Temples. These magnificent structures, relocated in a monumental engineering feat to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser, were carved into the rock face by Ramses II. They stand as an eternal declaration of his power and his love for Queen Nefertari, featuring vast sculptures that chronicle his triumphs and divine connections. After immersing ourselves in the grandeur of Abu Simbel, we'll return to Aswan for a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, savoring regional flavors. Following lunch, you'll be transferred to your hotel in Aswan, where you'll check in and spend a restful night.

  • Abu Simbel Temples — Witness the incredible rock-cut temples of Ramses II and Nefertari, a UNESCO World Heritage site and an engineering marvel.
Meals: Lunch Overnight: Aswan Hotel
Valley of the Kings

Awaken to a delicious breakfast at your Aswan hotel. Subsequently, we'll head to the train station for a smooth, first-class journey north to Luxor, the dazzling ancient capital of Thebes. Upon arrival, a private vehicle will be waiting to transport us to Luxor's legendary West Bank. Our first stop is the Valley of the Kings, the ancient necropolis where many pharaohs, including Tutankhamun, chose their final resting place, adorned with intricate funerary art. Next, we'll visit the stunning Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, a terraced architectural masterpiece dedicated to Egypt's powerful female pharaoh. Our final stop on the West Bank will be the colossal twin statues known as the Colossi of Memnon, guardians of what was once Amenhotep III's vast mortuary temple. A delectable lunch will be served at a riverside restaurant in Luxor, offering scenic views. In the afternoon, we'll cross to the East Bank to explore the immense Karnak Temple Complex. This sprawling sacred precinct, built and expanded over two millennia, is one of the largest religious sites ever constructed, dedicated primarily to the Theban Triad. As our extraordinary journey concludes, you will be driven to Luxor Airport for your flight back to Cairo, where you'll be transferred to your hotel, reflecting on the marvels you've encountered.

  • Valley of the Kings — Explore the burial chambers of pharaohs from the New Kingdom, marveling at their vibrant hieroglyphics and intricate designs.
  • Temple of Hatshepsut — Discover the elegant terraced temple of Egypt's most famous female pharaoh, set dramatically against the cliffs.
  • Colossi of Memnon — See the imposing twin statues of Amenhotep III, iconic remnants of his once-grand mortuary temple.
