Comprised of a staggering 2,300,000 limestone blocks, this colossal monument rises to an impressive height of 147 meters (481 feet), maintaining its status as the world's tallest structure for an astonishing 3800 years until the construction of the Lincoln Cathedral in 1311.

Carved into the sacred stone cliffs of the Deir El Bahari, this temple stands as a majestic symbol of ancient Egyptian architecture and religious devotion.
• The Colossi of Memnon, commissioned by Amenhotep III between 1386 and 1350 BC, were intended to serve as the imposing guardians of Luxor.

Although they suffered damage from a severe earthquake in 27 BC, they were restored in 199 AD. The colossi gained widespread fame during the Greco-Roman period due to an intriguing phenomenon known as the "Vocal Memnon," where the statues would emit a melodic sound at dawn, believed to be caused by the wind passing through the stone.
• It's lunchtime! Now is the perfect moment to take a break and enjoy a delicious meal before continuing your exploration of Luxor. Afterwards, you can delve into the rich history of the Karnak Temple, one of Egypt's most popular attractions.

• Edfu Temple, known as the "House of Triumph and Honor," dates back to 237 BC and 57 BC. It is a captivating portal to the rich world of Egyptian religion, myth, and language during the Hellenistic period. Dedicated to the god of the skies and the victorious falcon god, Horus, this temple stands as a magnificent example of architectural and religious achievement from the late period of ancient Egypt.

• Your exploration will include visits to iconic landmarks such as the awe-inspiring High Dam.
• The High Dam stands as a testament to the modern engineering prowess of the city of Aswan. Constructed between 1960 and 1970 during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser, this monumental structure was a collaborative effort with the Moscow-based Hydro Project Institute. Its purpose was to gain better control over the Nile's annual flooding, harness hydroelectric power, and significantly increase water storage for agricultural irrigation in the vast reservoir, Lake Nasser.
• The Unfinished Obelisk is a remarkable tale of ambitious construction that regrettably never reached its completion. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to adorn the entrance of the Karnak temple, it bore the name "Tekhenu," signifying "to pierce the sky." This monumental structure provides insight into ancient Egypt's meticulous process of crafting obelisks. Astonishingly, it was intended to reach a towering height of 42 meters and weighed a staggering 1200 tons.
• Tragically, the obelisk suffered a significant crack during its construction, which forced it to remain unfinished at its original site until today.
• You will savour a delicious meal at a charming local restaurant in Aswan during lunchtime. Following this delightful experience, you'll embark on a fascinating journey to visit the Philae Temple. Nestled in the heart of Aswan, Philae Temple is steeped in myth, allure, and charm. One of its most famous legends is the "Myth of Osiris," which tells the story of Osiris, the husband of Isis, who his brother murdered Set out of pure envy and hatred. However, Osiris is later resurrected to become the ruler of the underworld. Set is eventually defeated by Isis and Osiris' son, Horus, the sky god, marking the end of an era of injustice and tyranny. In the 1960s, the temple was relocated to the island of Agilkia as part of a UNESCO-led rescue mission following the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
• After this fantastic tour in Aswan, you will be transferred to Aswan Airport to catch a flight to Cairo. Once in Cairo, our representative will greet you and take you to your hotel for the night.

After breakfast, our dedicated representative will accompany you to the airport, assisting with all the necessary final departure formalities. This marks the end of your wonderful trip to Egypt, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition as you head back home.
