A Professional Pickup in Aswan:
At the site selected by you in Aswan and at the agreed time, meet your Egyptologist from Golavita. Take your seat in the modern AC vehicle, going ahead to the first stop in this day tour.
The visit to the Aswan High Dam lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
You will meet one of the 20th century's architectural marvels, an extraordinary engineering feat due to its massive scale; it ranks as one of the largest earth-fill dams in the world, constructed from rock and earth materials rather than concrete. There, you see also the largest man-made lake, Lake Nasser.
The visit to the Philae Temple lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Arrive at Philae Port and take a motorboat to sail to Philae Temple, which is situated on Agilkia Island and appears dramatically as you navigate the Nile. Explore the grand Temple of Isis (main structure), smaller temples dedicated to Hathor, Horus, and Augustus, beautiful courtyards, colonnades, and relief carvings, arriving at Pharaoh's Bed that overlooks the Nile.
The visit to the Unfinished Obelisk lasts approximately 45 minutes.
This largest obelisk in history, carved directly from the granite bedrock at the Aswan quarry, offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look into how ancient Egyptians built their colossal monuments, and it helps explain the incredible engineering skills of a civilization thousands of years ago.

The temple is a rare double structure dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god of strength and fertility, and Horus the Elder (Haroeris), the falcon-headed god of protection and kingship.

Marvel at its towering pylon (entrance gate), A huge open courtyard surrounded by columns, a hypostyle hall filled with massive stone pillars, and more.

The visit to the Valley of the Kings lasts approximately 2 hours.
Welcome to the majesty of this secret necropolis, where pharaohs of the New Kingdom were buried in ornate underground tombs, surrounded by treasures and magic spells from the Book of the Dead, the Book of Gates, and the Nightly journey of the sun god Ra. It includes 60 tombs and you can visit up to three of the best ones listed on the main entry ticket.
The visit to the Hatshepsut Temple lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The Temple of Hatshepsut—also known as Deir el-Bahari—was built for Queen Hatshepsut and features a breathtaking facade carved into a high limestone cliff, consisting of three massive terraces, long ramps, beautiful colonnades, and statues.
The visit to the Colossi of Memnon lasts approximately 30 minutes.
Those massive statues have stood for more than 3,400 years, guarding the West Bank of Luxor and the largest mortuary temple in the Theban Necropolis. Each statue is about 18 meters (60 feet) tall and carved from single blocks of quartzite, representing Amenhotep III.
Lunchtime for around 1 hour and 30 minutes:

I had an unforgettable overnight trip to the Sataya-Dolphin House. Great organization and easy communication. All of my wishes were taken into account and fulfilled. Thank's a lot!
Very kind and profesional people.
In every trip that I went with them, all details were taking care of.
Ashraf is the most knowledgeable tour guide that I ever met in my life.
You will go on a trip and come back as friends.
I highly recommend golavita Tours!
We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada.
Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert!
The overnight stays were all planned in great detail.
It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days!
A huge thank you to Akram!
Excellent private tour with a very knowledgeable , intelligent and tour guide. Ashraf went the extra mile to make sure our two day trip went smoothly and took us to all the best sites in Luxor. He also gave detailed interesting information throughout. He also has a fun character and was fun to talk to outside the tour!
The luxor 2 day trip was amazing. We have young children who struggled at times, but the guide and driver were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed the historical sites, and the hot air balloon ride was incredible. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
Great service. We had a wonderful time.
Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car.
Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days.
Would highly recommend.
