  • Day 3:

    Luxor / Egypt

    Beneath the bright Egyptian sun, Luxor stretches along both banks of the Nile — a city often referred to as the world's greatest open-air museum. Once the mighty capital of ancient Thebes, Luxor captivates visitors with its monumental sites: the Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings where Tutankhamun rests, and the Colossi of Memnon standing tall in silent majesty.

    A walk through Luxor is not just a tour, but a true journey through time. Here, history is felt in every stone, in the shadow of towering columns, and in the calm of dawn as the sun rises over the ruins. Visitors are welcomed not only by awe-inspiring archaeology, but also by serene Nile cruises, hot-air balloon flights, and the warmth of locals who live side by side with their rich heritage.

  • Day 6:

    Kawm Umbu/Kom Ombo / Egypt

    Amid the golden sands of southern Egypt, at a bend of the mighty Nile, lies the town of Kom Ombo (Kawm Umbu) — a unique place where ancient beliefs took shape in stunning symmetry. Here stands one of the world's rare temples dedicated to two gods at once — Sobek, the crocodile-headed god of fertility, and Haroeris (Horus the Elder), god of the sky and sun. The temple’s architecture is perfectly balanced: two entrances, two halls, two sanctuaries — all duplicated in reverence to both deities.

    Visiting here is a journey into the mysticism and harmony of ancient Egypt. Tourists are especially intrigued by the Crocodile Museum, where actual mummified crocodiles found nearby are on display. The atmosphere of antiquity, peaceful views of the Nile, and the chance to walk where priests once served two divine forces make Kom Ombo a must-see for anyone seeking not just beauty, but the living breath of history.

  • Day 7:

    Aswan / Egypt

    In southern Egypt, nestled between desert landscapes and the majestic Nile River, lies Aswan — a city where ancient history and Eastern charm blend with a serene atmosphere. Known for its pharaonic granite quarries, ancient temples, and the iconic Aswan Dam that reshaped the river and the region, this destination is steeped in cultural significance.

    A felucca ride on the Nile, a visit to Philae Island and the Temple of Isis, encounters with Nubian traditions, and vibrant markets turn your journey into an oriental fairytale. Aswan offers warmth, tranquility, and a sense of timelessness — a perfect escape to connect with one of the world’s oldest civilizations.
