Upon arrival at Aswan Airport, you will be met by your Cairo Top Tours tour manager and transferred to your Egypt river cruise aboard the beautiful MS Nile cruise ship.
Lunch is served on board the cruise Nile. Start your tour in Aswan, the southernmost city in Egypt. It is located at the first Nile waterfall about a thousand kilometers from Cairo. Enjoy your day tours in As wan to the High Dam, a very important project in our modern history as important as the Suez Canal, providing electricity to most of Egypt's villages for the first time by regulating the course of the river.
You will then move on to see the movable temple known as the Temple of Philae, which was built to honor the goddess Isis, it was built in the Greco-Roman style, and you will learn about the legend of Isis and Horus and realize that the destruction of some statues of ancient Egyptian gods was done by the early Christians who tried to remove pagan representations from their newly claimed churches. Continue your Aswan travels to the granite quarries to see the unfinished obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut.
Return to the boat after we finish our daytime tours of Egypt to enjoy afternoon tea, then it's time for the Captain's welcome cocktail, and in the evening you will have a delicious dinner on your Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Enjoy a Nubian show and overnight on board your Nile cruise in Aswan.
