( Day 1 )
Kom Ombo Temple
The Kom Ombo Temple, located on the banks of the Nile River in Upper Egypt, is unique for its dual dedication to two gods: Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. Built during the Ptolemaic period (180-47 BCE), the temple features a symmetrical design with duplicate sanctuaries, halls, and courts for each deity. The temple’s walls are adorned with intricate reliefs depicting ancient medical instruments, rituals, and the gods themselves. Kom Ombo also houses a fascinating crocodile museum, showcasing mummified crocodiles and other artifacts, highlighting the significance of Sobek in ancient Egyptian culture.
High Dam
The High Dam, also known as the Aswan High Dam, is a significant engineering marvel located in Aswan, Egypt. Constructed between 1960 and 1970, the dam was built to control the annual flooding of the Nile River, provide water for irrigation, and generate hydroelectric power. Stretching 3,830 meters (12,562 feet) long and 111 meters (364 feet) high, the High Dam has created Lake Nasser, one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. This project has had a profound impact on Egypt’s agriculture and economy, though it also led to the displacement of many communities and the submersion of numerous archaeological sites, necessitating major international relocation efforts for monuments such as the Abu Simbel temples.
Temple of Isis on Philae Island
The Temple of Isis on Philae Island is one of the most picturesque and well-preserved ancient Egyptian temples. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, the temple was originally constructed during the Ptolemaic period (circa 380-362 BCE) and was expanded by subsequent Roman emperors. The site features impressive colonnades, detailed reliefs, and hieroglyphics depicting mythological scenes and religious rituals. Due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the temple was relocated from its original location on Philae Island to the nearby Agilkia Island in a UNESCO-led effort in the 1960s to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. The Temple of Isis remains a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Egyptian religion and architecture.

The unfinished Obelisk
The Unfinished Obelisk is a massive ancient obelisk located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan. Believed to have been ordered by Hatshepsut, it would have stood about 42 meters (approximately 137 feet) tall and weighed nearly 1,200 tons if completed. However, during its construction, a large crack appeared in the rock, which led to the abandonment of the project. The unfinished obelisk provides valuable insights into the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to quarry and carve obelisks, revealing the remarkable skill and precision of their stone workers. Today, it lies partially attached to the bedrock, offering visitors a glimpse into the ancient quarrying methods and the scale of these monumental structures.
Return to the hotel in Aswan
your driver will take you to the hotel in Aswan to sleep and rest. The next day at four in the morning, you will begin your trip to visit Abu Simbel Temple.
(Day 2)
Abu Simbel Temple
The Abu Simbel Temples are two massive rock temples in Nubia, southern Egypt, near the border with Sudan. They were carved into the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BCE, as a monument to himself and his queen, Nefertari, to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. The temples are renowned for their colossal statues, intricate carvings, and impressive engineering, especially considering they were relocated in the 1960s to avoid being submerged by Lake Nasser after the construction of the Aswan High Dam. The Great Temple is dedicated to Ramesses II and the gods Ra-Horakhty, Amun, and Ptah, while the smaller temple is dedicated to Queen Nefertari and the goddess Hathor. Abu Simbel remains one of Egypt’s most famous and awe-inspiring archaeological sites, showcasing the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture and artistry.
