Martin –
Luxor and Aswan are two of the most ancient and beautiful cities in Egypt. They have many historical monuments and natural scenery that reflect the rich culture and heritage of the Pharaonic civilization. I enjoyed visiting the temples of Luxor and Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, the Philae temple, the Nubian village, and the High Dam. The Nile cruise was also a wonderful experience that allowed me to relax and admire the views along the river. It was a memorable trip that I would recommend to anyone who loves history and adventure.
