Cultural, historical, adventure, and custom customized trips are just a few of the tours that Deluxe trips offer in Egypt and Jordan.
Located on the Nile's eastern bank between Aswan and Luxor, El Kab Village and Temple is one of Egypt's most fascinating but less-talked-about archaeological treasures. The ancient village, once known as Nekheb, was the capital city of ancient dynastic Upper Egypt and a vital element of the nation's history for thousands of years.
El Kab is a great place to visit for tourists who do not want to stick to Egypt's famous landmarks. It is surrounded by enormous mudbrick walls, built in the Late Period, and were meant to defend the city from invaders. Within the city walls are temples that have been dedicated to the goddess Nekhbet, the vulture god of Upper Egypt. The most notable among these is the Temple of Nekhbet, which contains hieroglyphic inscriptions and reliefs chronicling stories of ancient Egyptian religion and politics.
One of the delights of El Kab is its elaborate tombs of the New Kingdom. They belonged to the governors and the nobles, and the well-preserved murals on the wall paintings show us everyday life, religious rituals, and even hunting expeditions. Two of the notable ones are the tombs of Ahmose, son of Ebana, and Paheri, and they reveal so much about Egypt's military and administrative history.
The current village surrounding El Kab gives the visit a special atmosphere, offering an introduction to rural Upper Egypt. Visitors can engage with the locals, observe traditional farming, and partake in the relaxed tempo of Nile life. The combination of ancient remains and modern culture makes El Kab an individual tourist destination for anyone located there.
Whether a Nile cruise holiday or an independent, escorted visit from Luxor or Aswan, El Kab has it all: history, culture, and off-the-beaten-path adventure in just the right proportion.
