✔️Luxor or Aswan? Well, BOTH! Here is why:
NATURE:
⛰️Luxor is blessed with dramatic mountains.
🌊Aswan is blessed with the river scenery.
ATTRACTIONS:
⛰️Due to the mountainous grounds, Luxor has 📍the Valley of the Kings; 📍Valley of Queens and 📍Temple of Hatshepshut.
🌊Aswan's 📍Philae temple is in the midst of the river. You need a boat to get there. You will also find the 📍Elephantine Island at water level (you'll find the elephantine pyramid and the Aswan Museum).

Her vacation starts from the day she starts planning... TOO many details for Mario.
