As your day begins, enjoy breakfast aboard your Egypt Nile cruise before meeting your private tour guide for Aswan Excursions:
The High Dam:
Explore the High Dam, which is important in shielding Egypt from Nile floods that once caused months of water wastage. Aswan, Egypt's southernmost city, sits near the first Nile waterfall, nearly a thousand kilometers from Cairo.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Visit the granite quarries where ancient Egyptians cut and transported granite for the pyramids and temples during Egypt's Old Kingdom and the grand structures and obelisks during the New Kingdom.
Philae Temple:
Continue your Aswan tour to the Philae Temple, a Greco-Roman-style temple dedicated to the worship of Goddess Isis. It's one of the key locations in the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.
Afterward, return to the cruise for lunch and enjoy free time in Aswan. In the evening, savor a high-quality dinner aboard the cruise boat and attend an engaging Nubian show before overnighting in Aswan.
