6-Day Aswan and Luxor Tour with Abu Simbel

The Aswan and Luxor Tour with Abu Simbel brings together Upper Egypt’s most important sites in one six-day private journey. Beginning at Abu Simbel, the route follows the story of ancient Egypt north towards Luxor, passing through Aswan, Kom Ombo, and Edfu along the way. Each destination adds a new chapter to that story. Stand beneath the colossal statues of Ramses II, explore Philae Temple, and experience Aswan from the Nile during a traditional felucca ride. A visit to a Nubian village adds a closer look at the culture and daily life of southern Egypt. From Aswan, travel by private vehicle to the riverside temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu before continuing to Luxor. Here, the journey reaches the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple. Staying overnight in Abu Simbel, Aswan, and Luxor allows you to experience each destination at a balanced pace without following the fixed schedule of a Nile cruise. With Respect Tours, Egypt Through Local Eyes, your five-night hotel stay, private air-conditioned transportation, licensed Egyptologist guide, entrance tickets, daily breakfast, selected meals, and arrival and departure assistance are arranged in one complete program. Welcoming travellers since 1978, our local team takes care of the journey while giving you the time and local insight to understand each place beyond its most famous monument.

5-Day Aswan to Abu Simbel Cruise: Sail Beyond the High Dam

Lake Nasser Cruise To Abu Simbel A journey beyond the Aswan High Dam reveals a quieter side of Egypt. Across Lake Nasser, cruise ships are few, desert shores stretch into the distance, and ancient Nubian temples stand far from the usual tourist routes. Reaching them by cruise turns the journey itself into part of the experience, with peaceful sailing between archaeological sites that many visitors never see. This five-day Aswan to Abu Simbel cruise follows the historic Nubian temple route across Lake Nasser. Visit Kalabsha, Wadi El Seboua, Amada, and other monuments that were moved to higher ground before the lake rose. Between visits, relax on board and watch the desert landscape pass slowly by before reaching Abu Simbel, where the colossal statues of Ramses II rise above the lakeside as the final and most powerful stop. Unlike a quick road excursion, this Lake Nasser cruise from Aswan gives you time to discover the history leading to Abu Simbel and understand how these temples were saved. It is a good choice for travellers who have already experienced the traditional Nile route or want to explore a less familiar part of southern Egypt. With Respect Tours, Egypt Through Local Eyes, your welcome in Aswan, transfers, a four-night stay aboard a 5-star cruise, full-board meals, entrance tickets, bottled water, and guided visits with a licensed Egyptologist are arranged. Our local team has welcomed travellers since 1978, helping you enjoy the journey from Aswan to Abu Simbel with clear planning and local support from beginning to end.
