Philae Temple
The Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, is one of the most beautiful and historically revered temples in Egypt. Originally situated on the banks of the Nile, it was relocated to the Agilika Island to protect it from flooding due to the creation of Lake Nasser. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it boasts not only the Temple of Isis but also the Kiosk of Trajan, the Temple of Hathor, and other buildings from Byzantine and Roman times.
The Unfinished Obelisk
Next, you’ll visit the unfinished obelisk, located in the quarries of Aswan. This colossal obelisk, which weighs over 1,000 tons, offers a glimpse into the monumental stonework of ancient Egypt. It was abandoned due to a crack that appeared during its carving, giving us a unique insight into ancient quarrying methods. You’ll also get to see hieroglyphic engravings on the stones and take in the peaceful surroundings of the site.
Aswan High Dam
The Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt’s most significant modern engineering feats, is next. Stretching 3,830 meters long, the dam controls flooding, generates electricity, and provides water for agriculture. The dam’s power plant produces over 10 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually.

Valley of the Kings
The Valley of the Kings, also known as the “Valley of the Gates of the Kings,” is a hidden treasure beneath the red rock hills. This dry gorge holds the tombs of 63 pharaohs, including some of Egypt’s most famous rulers. The site was used for royal burials for nearly 500 years, from the 16th to 11th century BC, and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. It’s here that you'll find the tomb of King Tutankhamun, among other monumental burial sites.
Temple of Hatshepsut
The Temple of Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most beautiful and best-preserved temples, was built during the reign of the powerful female pharaoh Hatshepsut. Nestled against the cliffs in a natural bay on the West Bank of Luxor, this striking mortuary temple is dedicated to the sun god Amun-Ra and also includes remnants of earlier monuments. The temple is also known as Deir el-Bahri, meaning “Northern Monastery,” due to its later use as a Christian monastery.
Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues standing guard at the entrance of the temple of Amenhotep III, are among Luxor’s most famous landmarks. These imposing statues are best known for the mysterious “singing” sounds emitted by the northern statue at sunrise, believed to be caused by the morning heat and humidity.
After visiting these ancient wonders, you’ll spend an night in 4 star Hotel in Luxor.

Covering an area of over 40,000 sq meters, Dendera is renowned for its excellent preservation. This ancient site includes several temples, each dedicated to different deities, with the main attraction being the Hathor Temple.
Built using sand-colored stone, the Hathor Temple was dedicated to Hathor, the wife of the sky god Horus. Constructed between 30 BC and 14 AD, it is considered one of the most important temples in Egypt.
