Your first day begins with your certified tour guide meeting you at your hotel in Aswan, Aswan Airport, or Aswan railway station. You will then be transferred to embark on your 4-day Nile River Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Board your 5-star Egypt Nile River Cruise before enjoying an open-buffet lunch. Following lunch, your Aswan excursions commence with a visit to the High Dam, an engineering marvel and one of the most significant projects in modern Egyptian history. The High Dam protects the country from annual Nile River floods and provides a crucial power source.
Next, continue your Aswan tour to the granite quarries to see the Unfinished Obelisk, believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut during the New Kingdom. The obelisk remains in the quarry, partially carved from red granite.
Following this, take a motorboat to visit the magnificent Philae Temple, situated on Agilika Island. Known as Philae in Greek or Pilak in ancient Egyptian, meaning "the end," the temple is integral to the myth of Isis and Osiris. After completing your Aswan tours, you will be transferred back to the Nile cruise boat for dinner and an overnight stay in Aswan.
