LUXOR



A Walk Through the Past
Wake at dawn as a private vehicle collects you from your hotel for one of Luxor's true bucket list experiences. As the sun breaks over the horizon, you drift above the Nile Valley in a private hot air balloon, the temples and tombs of the ancient world unfolding in silence beneath you. Upon landing, a short drive through the farmlands ends at a local restaurant, where a traditional Egyptian breakfast waits.
The West Bank of Luxor holds some of Egypt's most significant royal tombs, and this private, half-day journey with your Egyptologist guide takes you into the heart of them. In the Valley of the Kings, enter the tombs of Ramses the Great and Tuthmosis III before arriving at King Tut's Tomb, discovered nearly intact with treasures that transformed our understanding of ancient Egypt. Continue to Queen Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, one of Egypt's most successful rulers, before visiting the Colossi of Memnon, the sole remaining monuments of Amenhotep III's temple.

NILE


It’s All Ancient History
Stepping off the Nile cruise and into Edfu, you arrive at the best-preserved ancient temple in Egypt and the second largest after Karnak. Dedicated to Horus, the falcon god, the temple is remarkable for its inscribed building texts, which reveal how ancient Egyptian temples were constructed and used with a clarity that most ruins simply cannot offer. Your private guide brings the story of Horus and the temple's extraordinary legacy to life against one of the ancient world's most intact backdrops.

A Journey Back in Time
Meet your private guide to explore Kom Ombo, a rare double temple built for two gods rather than one. One half honors Sobek, the crocodile god, while the other belongs to Haroeris, the sun god, with the temple's perfectly mirrored sanctuaries and passageways reflecting this dual devotion. Your guide brings both deities and their stories to life at this compelling Nile-side stop.

ASWAN


A Walk Through the Past
Explore Philae Temple with your private guide, relocated stone by stone from its original island to Agilkia Island to preserve it from flooding when the Aswan Dam was built. Continue to the ancient granite quarries, where the Unfinished Obelisk remains embedded in bedrock at nearly 140 feet long, abandoned mid-construction. Your guide reveals Philae's remarkable relocation story and brings ancient carving methods to life through tool marks still visible on the stone.

The Journey Continues…
Travel from Aswan to Cairo by private jet on an approximately 1.5-hour flight.
Travel to the Moqattam Hills, where the medieval Citadel rises above Cairo and the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali dominates the skyline with soaring domes and the tallest minarets in Egypt. Your private guide walks you through the nineteenth-century Ottoman-inspired architecture, from the alabaster-lined prayer hall to the sweeping views over the city below. The experience concludes with a scenic lunch overlooking the Nile.
After the museum closes and the crowds clear, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization becomes yours entirely. This private evening visit with an expert Egyptologist traces Egypt's story from prehistoric times to the present day. The highlight of the evening is the Royal Mummy Hall, where pharaohs excavated from the Valley of the Kings and Queens rest in silence.
