This scenic route holds historical significance, punctuated by a memorable visit to the Commonwealth War Graves at El Alamein. Here, we delve into the poignant history of two major World War II battles fought on this very ground.
The first battle began on July 1, 1942, enduring for 27 tense days and ultimately ending in a stalemate. The allies held their line against formidable forces for three months before launching a decisive second attack lasting another 13 days.

Your journey then takes a fascinating twist as you prepare to explore the catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa. This significant historical site, the largest Roman burial complex in Egypt, invites you underground into a world steeped in history. Thirty meters below street level lies an intricate network of burial chambers, labyrinthine alleyways, and family entertaining rooms used during visits to the departed.
Dating back to the Greco-Roman period, these crypts originally started as a modest family tomb but expanded over time to house more than 300 bodies! At the heart of the catacombs is a central spiral staircase, skillfully designed, guiding you through multiple subterranean levels steeped in mysteries and tales from ancient times.

Here you’ll enjoy a restful night preparing for your morning flight to Aswan as your unforgettable 15-day journey through Egypt unfolds further.
Day 5 of your 15 Days Egypt Travel Package from India begins with an early morning flight from Cairo to Aswan. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to the port for a boat ride to the Philae Temple complex. This historical treasure is renowned for the Temple of Isis, which was meticulously relocated to Philae Island in the 1960s to protect it from Nile waters. Admire its exquisite pylons and carvings, which exemplify some of Upper Egypt’s finest artistry.
The temple, built by the Ptolemaic dynasty, is dedicated to Isis—the goddess of healing, magic, and birth—as well as her husband Osiris and their son Horus. After exploring this architectural marvel, you’ll check into your hotel for some relaxation. In the afternoon, embrace tranquility while sailing on a traditional wooden felucca along the Nile.
Later in the day, savor an authentic dinner at a Nubian house. Your evening will feature an Inspiring Taste experience on Elephantine Island where you’ll engage with modern Nubian culture.

Later, we head to see the monumental Aswan High Dam—a symbol of 1960s engineering marvel—nestled behind the expansive Lake Nasser. This significant project once demanded the relocation of Abu Simbel’s temple complex to save it from submersion.
For those seeking an optional evening adventure, enjoy a sunset felucca sailing tour on the iconic Nile River.

Arriving early ensures an uncrowded experience at this part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Nubian Monuments.
The complex boasts two grand sandstone temples, built by Ramses II in the 1200s BCE. The main temple, adorned with four colossal statues of Ramses, honors key Egyptian deities, while a smaller temple dedicated to Hathor celebrates Queen Nefertari. Initially threatened by Lake Nasser due to the Aswan High Dam’s construction, these awe-inspiring monuments were meticulously relocated to higher ground.
After marveling at Abu Simbel, return to Aswan and spend your afternoon freely exploring its charms. Later, board your Nile cruise—a luxurious floating hotel for the next three nights.

Constructed during the Ptolemaic period, between 108 and 47 BC, it stands as a testament to ancient architectural ingenuity.
Nestled dramatically along the banks of the Nile River, Kom Ombo is situated approximately 47km north of Aswan and 168km south of Luxor. As you approach this historical marvel from the river, you’ll be greeted by the sight of its imposing columns reaching towards the sky. The temple has been well preserved over centuries, with intricate murals and columns showcasing exquisite detail. One particularly unique engraving within these walls is believed to feature some of history’s earliest representations of medical and surgical instruments.
Though Kom Ombo may now appear as a quaint agricultural village surrounded by sugar cane fields, its strategic location once made it a hub of significance in Upper Egypt. Stroll through its majestic colonnades and experience echoes of past glories that linger in every corner. After this enriching exploration, we’ll return to our cruise boat where free time awaits on the sundeck.

In the evening, you’ll journey to Luxor, where you’ll overnight in preparation for further adventures.
While visiting Edfu, please note that accessing the renowned Temple of Edfu is typically done via locally managed horse and carriages. However, as a responsible travel-focused company, we prioritize animal welfare highly and strive not to condone practices where working animals are poorly treated.
Recent inspections have revealed some operators do not meet our animal welfare standards. Alongside this concern, guest feedback consistently describes discomfort due to aggressive vendors near the temple site.

During your guided tour, you’ll marvel at highlights such as the Avenue of Sphinxes and the Great Temple of Amun. After soaking in the historical grandeur, embrace some free time in Luxor.
