Start your day with a delicious breakfast served aboard your Egypt Nile cruise, then meet your private guide for an exciting day of Aswan excursions:
The High Dam: Your first stop is the High Dam, a monumental structure that protected Egypt from the Nile's destructive floods, ensuring the safe use of water for irrigation and power generation. Aswan, located near the first Nile cataract, is situated about a thousand kilometers south of Cairo.
The Unfinished Obelisk: Next, visit the Unfinished Obelisk, where ancient Egyptians once cut granite to build Egypt’s massive pyramids and monumental structures. The granite quarries here were a key source of material for the grand temples and obelisks, especially during the New Kingdom.
Philae Temple: Your journey continues to Philae Temple, a magnificent example of Greco-Roman architecture, dedicated to the worship of the goddess Isis. The temple is famous for its association with the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.
After the tour, return to the cruise ship for a delicious lunch. Enjoy some free time to explore Aswan at your leisure before being treated to a fantastic dinner aboard the cruise. In the evening, enjoy a Nubian cultural show, then relax and spend the night in Aswan.
