Return to Aswan for lunch at a local restaurant and spend a second night at the hotel.

Day 4 - Aswan Highlights and Train to Luxor

Begin at the Aswan High Dam, then visit the ancient granite quarry containing the Unfinished Obelisk.

Transfer to the railway station afterward, take the first-class train to Luxor and check in at the hotel.

Day 5 - Karnak and Luxor Temple

Spend the morning on Luxor's east bank at Karnak, walking through its sequence of pylons, open courts and the Great Hypostyle Hall. After lunch and a break during the warmer part of the afternoon, return to the riverfront around sunset to visit Luxor Temple. Finish the guided tour after dark and return to the hotel.

Stop for lunch locally before returning to the Luxor hotel.
