What to expect

Embark on an innovative journey through Southern Egypt, seamlessly transitioning between road and rail.

The adventure begins with a pickup from your Luxor accommodation in an air-conditioned vehicle. En route to Aswan, you'll pause at the Temple of Edfu, one of Egypt's best-preserved ancient monuments. This fascinating site offers a profound insight into ancient Egyptian culture and architecture. Continuing towards Aswan, renowned for its rich history and striking landscapes, you'll explore the Aswan High Dam. This impressive feat of engineering was completed in 1970 to shield Egypt from the Nile's annual floods, resulting in the creation of Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial lake.

From here, a traditional motorboat will whisk you away to a Nubian village. Here, you can stretch your legs and savour a delightful lunch prepared by the friendly locals. These villages are celebrated for their vibrantly painted houses and warm hospitality. Post-lunch, the tour proceeds to Philae Temple, a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage and an architectural wonder. No visit to Aswan would be complete without a stop at Aswan Souk, a bustling marketplace teeming with local culture and a plethora of goods.

The day concludes with a first-class train ride back to Luxor, ensuring you return to your accommodation with unforgettable memories of your Egyptian adventure.
