When you arrive in Egypt, a Cairo Top Tours tour guide will be waiting for you at Aswan Airport or the railway station, holding a signboard with your name. You'll be taken to the dock in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to begin your Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise along the magical Nile River. After completing the check-in procedures and settling into your comfortable cabin, you'll enjoy a delicious open buffet lunch on board. Then, your sightseeing adventure in Aswan begins with a visit to the High Dam, which has played a vital role in preventing Nile River floods and is a significant project in Egypt's modern history. You'll also get to admire the beautiful view from the dam. Next, you'll explore the famous Granite Quarries, where ancient Egyptians obtained the stones used in building the pyramids and temples of Egypt. One fascinating example is the Unfinished Obelisk, a massive stone that showcases the remarkable stone-cutting techniques of the time. The day's tour continues with a motorboat ride to the remarkable Temple of Philae, dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis. This temple, built in the Greco-Roman architectural style, holds great historical and mythological significance, including the myth of Osiris and Seth. In the evening, after concluding the Aswan excursions, you'll enjoy a delightful dinner on the cruise ship. The entertainment for the night includes a special Nubian folkloric show, adding to the cultural experience.
The meals included during your cruise are a welcome drink upon arrival, lunch, and dinner.
