Luxor offers one of the most exquisite ancient treasures in the world.
The Valley of Kings, the legend temple of Queen Hatshepsut,
and Karnak Temple are some of the many jewels to explore in the magic city of Luxor.

Esna is a busy little farming town located 55 km south of Luxor, on the west bank of the Nile.

The Temple of Khnum, located 9 meter below street level, is one of the highlights in Esna. The lively tourist-oriented market in Esna is a perfect place to immerse in real Egyptian vibes.

The Esna Lock connects Esna to Aswan.

In January '96, Egypt opened the Lock. Both sides of have an elevation difference of approximately eight meters.

Crossing the lock is always a very loud and joyful experience, and it is a scenic photo spot for the Nile travelers.

Catapult yourself back in time. Watch the countryside with little mud brick houses and observe the crops growing on the fertile land of the Nile while sailing between Edfu and Esna.

These paradisiacal views are ideal to relax, leave your worries behind, and become one with nature.

During the 18th dynasty, the Egyptians started using sandstone instead of limestones. Gebel el-Silsila became an important stone source for several famous ancient Egyptians temples.

Next to the extremely powerful energy and old vibes,
Silsila is a very serene spot because regular boats can not park there.

Kom Ombo is a temple dedicated to the god Sobek (the crocodile god)
and Haroeris (the winged god of medicine and one of the oldest incarnations of Horus).

Crocodiles were worshipped at many cult-sites,  from Qasr Qaroun in the Fayoum to Kom Ombo,  and were often buried with Pharaohs as it was believed that they would protect them in the afterlife.

Kom Ombo temple is also known for its wall relieves showing ancient surgical and dental tools. 

Aswan’s most sacred temple is Philae. It is considered the most precious of all Egypt’s temples. She sits on an island plopped in the middle of the Nile, only reachable by small motorboat.

The Ptolemaic (Graeco-Roman) era temple is devoted to Isis, the Goddess of motherhood. Philae is the last ancient temple built in classical Egyptian architectural style.

The temple was moved from its original location on Philae Island to its new location on Agilkia Island after the flooding of Lake Nasser.
