Enjoy your day with an enjoyable breakfast served on your Egypt Nile cruise, followed by a meeting with your private tour guide to kick off your Aswan Excursions with the following itinerary:
The High Dam:
Take a visit to the High Dam, an important structure that protected Egypt from the devastating Nile floods, preventing months of wasted water. Aswan, the southernmost city in Egypt, sits at the first Nile waterfall, nearly a thousand kilometers away from Cairo.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Explore the granite quarries where ancient Egyptians once extracted and transported granite for the building of the great pyramids during the Old Kingdom of Egypt. These quarries also supplied materials for the grand temples, huge pillars, and obelisks, particularly during the New Kingdom.
Philae Temple:
Continue with your Aswan tour to the Philae Temple, a magnificent Greco-Roman-style building dedicated to the worship of Goddess Isis. This temple holds significant historical importance as one of the four sites associated with the legend of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.
After your excursions, return to the cruise for a delightful lunch and enjoy a leisurely afternoon in Aswan. In the evening, savor a high-quality dinner onboard the cruise boat, accompanied by an engaging Nubian show. Conclude the day by spending the night in Aswan.
