Day 1: Makadi to Luxor – Luxor Sightseeing – Luxor to Aswan
Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Makadi Bay to begin your 2 Days Luxor & Aswan Tours from Makadi Bay. Upon arrival in Luxor, you will meet your expert Egyptologist guide and start exploring the most remarkable ancient sites:
Karnak Temple:
The great Karnak Temple Complex is the largest and most significant religious center ever built in ancient history. Dedicated to Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, this vast sacred site reflects the power and influence of ancient Thebes and forms an essential part of your Luxor and Aswan trip from Makadi Bay.
Valley of the Kings:
Home to more than 60 royal tombs, including the world-famous tomb of King Tutankhamun, the Valley of the Kings served as the burial ground of Egypt’s New Kingdom pharaohs. Inside the tombs, you’ll find vivid hieroglyphs and colorful scenes designed to guide the kings through the afterlife.
Temple of Hatshepsut:
An architectural masterpiece of the New Kingdom, the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut stands proudly against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. Built to honor Amun and immortalize her legacy, it remains one of Egypt’s most elegant and unique temples.
Colossi of Memnon:
These two enormous 18-meter statues of Amenhotep III once guarded his mortuary temple. For centuries, travelers reported a mysterious “singing” sound at dawn — caused by temperature shifts in the stone — adding even more legend to their grandeur.
After completing your sightseeing, enjoy a delicious lunch at a Nile-view restaurant. Later, board a 1st-class train to Aswan, where you will check into a 5-star hotel for an overnight stay.
Meals: Lunch
Day 2: Aswan Highlights – Aswan to Makadi Bay
After breakfast, continue your 2 Days Luxor & Aswan Tours from Makadi Bay with your Egyptologist guide to explore the highlights of Aswan:
Philae Temple:
The sacred Temple of Isis at Philae once stood on Philae Island, the southernmost religious site in ancient Egypt. Known as “Pilak” — the remote place — Philae served as a major cult center for Isis throughout the Greco-Roman period.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Carved during the New Kingdom, this massive granite obelisk — had it been completed — would have been the largest ever created. Today it gives a rare look into ancient Egyptian engineering techniques and craftsmanship.
The High Dam:
Built in the 1960s under President Nasser, the Aswan High Dam created Lake Nasser and transformed Egypt’s agriculture forever. Its panoramic views over the Nile are unforgettable.
Enjoy lunch at a Nile-view restaurant before boarding your 1st-class train to Qena. Upon arrival, your private driver will transfer you back to your hotel in Makadi Bay — concluding your memorable Makadi Bay to Luxor and Aswan tour and the perfect 2-day Upper Egypt experience.

I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
We had Ayoub as our tour guide, he was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgable on Egypt and spoke English well. He also has a personality that is very easy to get along with and made our trip enjoyable
I went to Egypt recently and I had as a guide Mr Mohamed El Shemei which was excellent and made our experience amazing. He knew so much of Egypts history and he filled us with information however making sure it wasn’t boring.
