When you arrive at the Aswan airport, a representative from our company will greet you and drive you to your hotel in a luxurious air-conditioned car. From there, your four-day Royal Viking Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor will begin. Your trip to the Aswan High Dam, built in 1960 to shield Egypt from the Nile River's yearly floods, begins after lunch.
Continue your tour of the Giza Pyramids by stopping by the Unfinished Obelisk, which is renowned for its red granite, which was used to build numerous well-known structures, including the Valley Temple of King Chephren and the pyramid of Mycerinus. As the first woman to lead Egypt in its history, Queen Hatshepsut was one of the queens who ruled during the 18th dynasty of the new kingdom. She was the wife of King Tuthmosis II. There is currently no evidence to support the theory put forth by some that this obelisk is related to Queen Nefertiti, the wife of King Akhenaten.
Proceed with your Aswan excursions to see the Temple of Philae, which honors the goddess of magic, Goddess Isis. Moved from Philae Island to Agilika Island as a result of the construction of the High Dam, the Temple of Philae is devoted to her. Once you've transferred back to the cruise ship, eat supper while sipping on the captain's welcome drink.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner.
