On the fourth and last day of our itinerary, we will be exploring the beautiful city of Aswan and Sightseeing in Aswan. Our day will begin with a visit to the magnificent Kalabsha Temple, a stunning example of ancient Nubian architecture. Here, we will have the opportunity to marvel at the intricate carvings and learn about the temple's rich history.
Next, we will make our way to the High Dam, a modern engineering marvel that has had a significant impact on the region. Our knowledgeable guide will provide insight into the dam's construction and its role in controlling the flow of the Nile River and creating Lake Nasser.
Afterward, we will launch on a leisurely cruise on Lake Nasser, taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. This serene experience will provide a perfect opportunity for relaxation and reflection.
As our day draws to a close, we will have the option to participate in one of the many Aswan day tours available, allowing us to further explore this fascinating city and its cultural offerings.
A small new piece of information about these sites is that the Kalabsha Temple was originally located on a site that is now submerged beneath Lake Nasser due to the construction of the High Dam. This incredible feat of engineering ensured the preservation of this historic treasure for future generations to enjoy.
Our time in Aswan has been nothing short of extraordinary, and we look forward to continuing our exploration of this incredible destination.
