We will start our day with a delicious breakfast on board and prepare ourselves for yet another magnificent day of excursions in Aswan. Your first destination today is the stunning Kalabsha Temple, which dates back to the 18th Dynasty, an absolute wonder of ancient Egyptian architecture. This was originally built during the Roman period, when there was a god named Amun-Re that this temple was dedicated to, and it is very interesting.
Continue to the temple of Beit El Wali, which was constructed by Ramses II and houses stunning carvings representing the military conquests of the Pharaoh and his commitment to the gods, including Khnum, the creator god believed to have formed the world on his potter's wheel.
Continue with a drive to the breathtaking Temple of Abu Simbel, probably one of the iconic landmarks of Egypt. Hewn into the side of the mountain during the rule of Ramses II, this complex features huge colossi that immortalize both the king and his favorite queen, Nefertari. These temples are monumental testimonies to the memory of those two great rulers and celebrate the victory of Ramses II in the Battle of Kadesh.
Your next stop will be at Wadi El Sebou, another archaeological site that contains more temples and shrines of other gods. This provides detailed insight into the spiritual life of the Nubians of old and their connections with Egyptian culture.
After a whole day of interesting Aswan day tours, aboard the cruise ship in a soothing evening. Have an elegant dinner with the ship's highly skilful chefs, while thinking of all the great historical sites you have visited.
