Cairo Top Tours representative and fluent guide will be waiting for you at your hotel in Aswan to take you in a private air-conditioned car to enjoy a comfortable and fun-filled excursion with us to make the most of every moment.
The first stop on your journey will be the Temple of Philae, which was first constructed to honor the goddess Isis. Over the ages, it gained such a unique position in the religion that throngs of devotees would congregate to reenact the tale of Osiris's death and resurrection. In the third century BC, the Great Temple was constructed, and thereafter came the temples of Arsenophis and Amenhotep. The Temple of Hathor, finished by Euergetes II before 116 BC, is the final Ptolemaic structure. The reliefs that other Ptolemies added to Philae are regarded as temple masterpieces. The goddess Isis's worship extended from Egypt to Greece, Rome, and other parts of the empire.
After that, we explore Egypt's High Dam, a hydroelectric dam on the Nile River in southern Egypt that was constructed under Gamal Abdel Nasser with assistance from the Soviet Union. Owned and run by the Aswan High Dam and Reservoir General Authority, the dam has helped regulate water flow and lessen the impact of Nile floods and is used to produce electricity in Egypt. It is a building of great political and economic significance.
Let's continue our journey by going to the Nubian Village, which will be amazing. One of the most well-known communities in Aswan, on the banks of the Nile, is the Nubian town of West Suhail. Its residents have transformed the town into a global tourist destination, drawing visitors, celebrities, and athletes from all over the world. Since the community still follows the traditional Nubian customs and house style, anybody who enters feels the spirit of the Nubian houses in their manner.
After you have a great lunch at one of the city's well-known neighborhood restaurants, we will finally drive you back to your hotel in Aswan.
