Philae Temple

Incredible in its own right, the structure was made even more famous when it was moved in 1971 from its original site in Philae to higher ground on Agilika Island after rising Nile waters threatened to submerge it.

Felucca Sailing

These boats sail silently along the Nile, often piloted by captains using one foot to steer the rudder. This is the most serene way to explore the waters around Elephantine Island, Lord Kitchener’s Botanical Gardens, and the Agha Khan Mausoleum.

Luxor Temple

The ancient Egyptian masterpiece on the east bank of the Nile, was dedicated to the god Amun-Ra. Its grand colonnades, imposing statues, and the dramatic Hypostyle Hall make it a captivating testament to ancient Egyptian religious devotion and architecture.

Valley of the Kings

A historic burial ground, the Valley of the Kings, conceals ornate tombs housing pharaohs like Tutankhamun. Intricate hieroglyphics, paintings, and treasures adorn these subterranean chambers, providing insight into ancient Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife.

Karnak Temple

Visit Karnak, a vast complex of temples, pylons and chapels and other structures built between the Middle Kingdom and Ptolemaic periods, including the Great Hypostyle Hall. Exploring Karnak offers a vivid glimpse into the opulence of Egypt's ancient religious practices.

Temple of Edfu

One of the best-preserved shrines in Egypt, the Temple of Edfu was built between 237 and 57 BCE. Inscriptions on the walls give details about the myths, language and religions following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE.

Kom Ombo Temple

Visit Kom Ombo, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and standing at a bend in the Nile where, in ancient times, sacred crocodiles would bask in the sun on the banks, the temple’s design is perfectly symmetrical.
