Our agent will greet you at the train or airport in Aswan, take you to your accommodation in a luxurious air-conditioned vehicle, and begin your four-day Royal Viking Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Your Aswan excursions begin after lunch at the Aswan High Dam, built in 1960 to shield Egypt from the Nile River's yearly floods.
During your tour of the Giza Pyramids, don't miss seeing the Unfinished Obelisk, which is renowned for its red granite, which was utilized to build numerous well-known structures, including the Valley Temple of King Chephren and the pyramid of Mycerinus. The most well-known obelisk is related to Queen Hatshepsut, the first female ruler of Egypt in history. She was the wife of King Tuthmosis II and one of the queens who ruled during the 18th dynasty during the new kingdom. There is currently no proof to support the theory put up by some that this obelisk is connected 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.
