This trip runs early in the morning in Luxor, so that you catch the early morning sun over the Valleys of the Kings & Queens, temples and desert. The trip runs from between 5.00am and 10.00am (start times vary), with about 1 hour in the air. We normally book this for you on your second day in Luxor, before the West Bank tour. There is a minimum number of people required for the trips to run, and they are also weather dependent. It is very rare however that are cancelled, and if this happens, we will refund you in full.

Watch this spectacular laser light and sound show at the pyramids. Listen to the head of the Sphinx as it tells the story of the Pharaohs and how the great pyramids were built. The show is available in different languages and runs from early to late evening. All transport is provided along with entrance fees.

The awesome temples at Abu Simbel are a must see for anyone travelling to Egypt. Lying 280 km south of Aswan this remarkable temple, reclaimed stone by stone from the rising waters of lake Nasser, stands as a testament to the greatness of the Pharaoh Ramses II, and to modern engineering. We leave Aswan by road with the early morning convoy at 04.30am so that we arrive in Abu Simbel at around sunrise (approx. 3 hours drive). You then have a guided tour and free time at the temples (approx. 2 hours in total) before driving back to Aswan. You can do this tour and still enjoy all the set excursions included in the main tour.
