Venture far off conventional tourist routes to explore the monumental sandstone quarries that built the pharaonic temples of Egypt on our private Gebel El Silsila and El Kab Ancient Quarries Day Tour. Situated along the narrowest gorge of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan, Gebel El Silsila supplied stone for Karnak, Luxor, and Ramesseum, while El Kab preserves ancient walled cities and rock-cut provincial tombs.
Accompanied by a private master-level Egyptologist and chauffeur, you will travel between Luxor and Aswan to examine cliff shrines, quarry marks, and graffiti left by ancient Egyptian master builders.
