Undertaking on an Aswan Adventure: Exploring the Wonders of the Nile
Beginning your day with a delectable breakfast aboard the Nile Cruise, you'll be prepared to launch on an exciting excursion to the highlights of Aswan, accompanied by your private tour guide.
Your first stop will be the legendary High Dam, a remarkable engineering feat that has shielded Egypt from the devastating Nile floods that once submerged the land for months, preventing the effective use of this vital waterway. Aswan, the southernmost city in Egypt, is situated near the first Nile cataract, a mere thousand kilometers from the bustling capital of Cairo.
Next, you'll venture to the granite quarries where ancient Egyptians once toiled to extract the raw materials for their grand monuments. Here, you'll witness the Unfinished Obelisk, a testament to the engineering prowess of the Old and New Kingdoms, when these massive granite structures were carved and transported to adorn the great pyramids and temples.
Concluding your Aswan exploration, you'll visit the Greco-Roman Philae Temple, dedicated to the revered goddess Isis. This site is one of the four locations where the legendary tale of Isis, Osiris, and Horus is believed to have taken place.
After your immersive morning of Aswan sightseeing, you'll return to the comfort of the Nile Cruise to savor a delightful lunch. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at leisure in Aswan, before indulging in a sumptuous dinner and an engaging Nubian cultural performance aboard the vessel. Overnight, you'll rest in Aswan, eager for the adventures that await on the following day.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
As you enjoy your final breakfast aboard the Nile Cruise, it's time to check out and prepare for your transfer to your requested drop-off location in Aswan, be it the railway station or the Aswan airport.
