Aswan High Dam was constructed between 1960 & 1970 with the help of the Moscow-based Hydro project Institute to have better control over Nile flooding, generate hydroelectricity, and provide increased water storage for irrigation in its reservoir Lake Nasser. After its construction, it put the Abu Simbel and Philae Temple in danger but was miraculously saved by UNESCO in the 60s in the most challenging archeological rescue mission in human history.
The Unfinished Obelisk is a unique monument with no comparison. It was constructed by an order from Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) to stand at the entrance of the Karnak temple with the Lateran obelisk that resides today at the Lateran palace in Rome. The obelisk became known as “Tekhenu” which means "to pierce the sky" & reached the height of 42 m and weighed 1200 tons and showcased how exactly obelisks were constructed. The obelisk was cracked during construction and remained in the same place till today.

Valley of the Kings is a tunnel to the afterlife and a staircase to the heavens for the greatest kings and queens of Egypt’s New Kingdom (1570-1070 BC). It is probably the most important archaeological site in the world as it became a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. It contains 63 tombs filled with countless enchanting artifacts, decorations, and the remains of pharaohs like Ramses I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, IX, X, Amenhotep I, Hatshepsut, and the famous boy-king Tutankhamun.
Hatshepsut Temple is the finest reflection of the allure & grandeur of the New Kingdom (1550-1070 BC) and showcases the great statue of one of the most successful rulers in the history of Ancient Egypt, Queen Hatshepsut. The temple is called Deir El-Bahari and was once known as Djeser-Djeseru (Holy of Holies). It was designed in 1479 BC by Hatshepsut’s chancellor Senenmut and took 15 years to construct. The design of the temple is based on the concept of Classical Architecture. It holds some of the most impressive decorations and statues in all of Egypt.
Colossi of Memnon is an ancient art piece protecting the city from all harm. The colossal consists of two colossal blocks of quartzite sandstone standing at the height of 18 m (60ft) and weighing 720 tons each, which has the shape of Amenhotep III (1386-1350 BC). The colossal used to stand at the entrance of his mortuary temple, but after a large earthquake in 27 BC, they were rebuilt again in 199 AD. The statues were famous during the Greco-Roman period as there used to be a rumor of The Vocal Memnon, as the statues sang at dawn in a crying sound from time to time, which was nothing more than the sound of the wind passing through the statue.
You will then have your lunch on an island, as your tour includes a boat trip on the Nile River. Then end your tour in Luxor by visiting:
Karnak Temple is one of the holiest archaeological sites in the world and one of the world’s biggest man-made constructions & open-air museums.

The complex covers 2.61 miles of land and holds over 25 temples and chapels, including many obelisks, sanctuaries, and groups of columns that detail the heroic tales of the Pharaohs.

The Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa are a special piece of foreign art located in Egypt, as they represent the fusion of the ancient Egyptian culture during the Greco-Roman Period. It was constructed as a necropolis dating to the 2nd century AD, which was able to mix the artistic elements of the Hellenistic and Roman culture with ancient Egyptian Pharaonic design in the ultimate breathtaking fashion. It holds a great number of Greek and Roman artifacts and decorations in its three-level stories, which made it gain the title of one of the seven wonders of the Middle Ages.
Pompey’s Pillar is a great pillar of ancient Roman times. It is the largest monolithic column ever built outside of Rome and stands at a height of 28m tall and 2.7m wide of pure red granite, and on its western upper side is a Greek inscription dedicated to Emperor Diocletian. The reason why it is named Pompey’s Pillar is that in the Middle Ages, the crusaders mistakenly believed that the remains of the great Roman general Pompey are located in a pot at the high top of the pillar.
Lunch will be served at a seafood restaurant, then move to visit:
Qaitbay Citadel is a special castle holding the spirit of Alexandria Lighthouse.
