What to expect
Start your day tour in Aswan by getting picked up from your hotel or cruise ship and drive to the magnificent Philae Temple. Enjoy the scenic views along the Nile of beautiful Aswan. One of the best sites of Aswan, Philae Temple, also known as the Temple of Isis, constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305 BCE to 30 BCE) was dedicated to the Goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. This beautiful Philae temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt consisting of architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines of Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Learn about the greatness of Egyptian history, your local Egyptologist guide (optional) will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own.
Next, continue with a drive to the Aswan High Dam. Built in the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam, a major engineering project, is one of the world’s largest dams. The importance of the High Dam is to generate hydroelectric power, control the flow of the Nile River from flooding, and provide water supply for irrigation. Enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Nasser from the top of the High Dam, along with sights of the huge power station to the north and Kalabsha temple to the south.
Our final stop takes us to a Nubian Village, where we’ll experience the unique culture of the Nubian people. Enjoy all the beautiful colors of the Nubian houses, wander amongst the delightful artwork, embrace the traditions and culture, meet the native people in the Village, and spend some time shopping for handcrafted gifts before sailing back along the Nile River. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation in Aswan.
