Start your day with breakfast served aboard your Egypt Nile Cruise, then meet your private tour guide to begin your Aswan excursions:
The High Dam:
Visit the High Dam, which has protected Egypt from the annual Nile floods that once inundated the country with wasted water. Aswan, the southernmost city in Egypt, is located at the first cataract of the Nile, nearly a thousand kilometers from Cairo.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
Explore the granite quarries where ancient Egyptians cut and transported granite for constructing the great pyramids during the Old Kingdom and the grand temples, pillars, and obelisks of the New Kingdom.
Philae Temple:
Continue your Aswan tour with a visit to the Greco-Roman Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. This temple is one of the key sites associated with the legend of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.
After the tour, return to the cruise for lunch. Enjoy a free afternoon in Aswan, followed by a quality dinner on board. In the evening, watch an entertaining Nubian show before spending the night in Aswan.
