Tour Highlights:
- Luxor's Ancient Wonders: Begin your voyage in the historical city of Luxor, home to the Valley of the Kings, where pharaohs of the New Kingdom (1550-1070 BC) are entombed. Marvel at the architectural splendor of the Karnak Temple complex and the serene beauty of the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's most successful female pharaoh.

- Aswan's Attractions: In Aswan, explore the Philae Temple, relocated to its current location on Agilkia Island to save it from the floods caused by the Aswan High Dam. The temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, stands as a testament to the resilience of ancient Egyptian heritage.
