El templo de Kom Ombo se encuentra a 48 km al norte de Asuán y fue construido durante el período greco-romano. El templo es único, ya que es un templo doble dedicado a Sobek el dios cocodrilo y a Horus el dios con cabeza de halcón. El diseño combina los dos templos, cada lado tiene sus propios portales y capillas. El Templo de Edfu fue construido entre el 237 y el 57 ac. en el reinado de Cleopatra VII. De todos templos de Egipto, el Templo de Horus en Edfu es el más conservado en su totalidad.
There’s nowhere else quite like Luxor. Built on the 4,000-year old site of Egypt’s one-time capital of Thebes, it’s stacked with the building works of the great Pharaohs, making it one serious open-air museum. On this trip, you’ll fly to the city for a day of guided sightseeing that will whisk you back through the millennia in an instant. Walk the spectacular Valley of the Kings, whose limestone hills are peppered with 62 hand-carved tombs. Crane your neck at the massive twin statues of the Colossi of Memnon that guard the valley. And go deep into the most famous tomb of all - that of the boy king Tutankhamun. Nearby you’ll find another Pharaonic powerhouse - the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. With its symmetrical colonnades, it looks as if it was built only yesterday. After a complimentary lunch, you’ll cross the Nile to see two more of Luxor’s highpoints. Gasp at the vast pillars of Karnak and marvel at the incredible obelisks and sphinxes of Luxor Temple before heading to the airport for your return flight. And why not book a VIP upgrade? With private transfers and your own chauffeured car and personal guide in Luxor, it’ll make your day extra special.

This action-packed trip takes you into the Hurghada desert on just about every type of transport available – from camel to quad bike. Your guides will start the afternoon with a health and safety briefing and a quick quad bike driving test, before leading you out into the desert. This changeable countryside covers pancake-flat desert, rocky roads and rolling hills. Back at the quad station, you’ll get a drink before climbing into a spider car – a skeletal-looking 4-wheel drive. After 20 minutes or so you’ll switch to double and triple-wheeled tank cars. Horse and camel riding comes next – a traditional mode of travel that’ll get you in the mood for the upcoming buffet dinner and live show. Grilled meats, kofta and rice dominate the food spread, while entertainment comes in the shape of traditional dance troupes. A spot of stargazing rounds the night off.
Expect a night to remember. You’ll sit down to a three-course meal at the world-renowned Hard Rock Café, where juicy burgers and sticky ribs are served among instruments and costumes from the rock and roll era. When you’ve let your dinner go down, you’ll take to the dancefloor and make the most of a two-hour open bar.

Meet your Bedouin cameleers and begin your camel trek across the Sinai Desert towards Mount Matamir. The scenery along the way is pretty breathtaking: the land is virtually silent and the landscape is vast and rugged, with sandstone valley walls in the distance and open views as far as you can see. Meander along with the slow pace of the camels, enjoying the soft sand and tranquil atmosphere of the Sinai Desert.
Upon arrival at Mount Matamir we’ll set up a small camp and you’ll have the opportunity to explore the surrounding area while lunch is prepared, but you very well may want to stick around and see how the Bedouins do it. This style of food preparation is unique to the Bedouin nomads, and their techniques are interesting to watch and participate in. You’ll have the opportunity to learn to prepare and bake traditional Bedouin bread, and watch as the rest of the meal is cooked on the open fire. In true Bedouin style, we’ll eat our lunch around the campfire.
After lunch, take some time to relax before our walk up Mount Matamir to see extraordinary panoramas. Your guide will point out interesting places of reference, and provide information on the wadis, local regions, and other points of interest you’ll see in the view. From here, we’ll head back to camp for some Bedouin tea before reuniting with our camel buddies for a trek to the ancient tombs of Nawamis. These tombs are thought to be about 5,500 years old, and are the oldest intact standing roofed buildings in the world (say that ten times fast!). The tombs all face west, in accordance with the sunset, paralleling the end of the sun with the end of life, an indication of meaning behind ancient Egyptian burial practices. You’ll have time to walk around the tombs before trekking back into the Bedouin desert ‘dwelling village’, where you’ll meet local women and children and share tea with them in their homes. From there, our Egyptian desert adventure will wind to a close, with a camel trek back to the initial meeting point, where your return transportation to Sharm el-Sheikh awaits.
