Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Start the day with a healthy breakfast on board, before taking off to explore the many wonders of Aswan. Day tours today are rich in their variety, starting with a visit to the Kalabsha Temple. This magnificent building dates back to the 18th Dynasty and is committed to the gods Amun-Re and Khnum. Its richly inscribed walls allow the visitor to get the concept of the religious life of ancient Egyptians and display architectural genius from those talented people.
Following your visit to Kalabsha, you will be taken to Beit El Wali, a very unusual place that contains inscriptions and reliefs about the most important deeds of Pharaoh Ramses II. Here, you can learn more about one of the most popular pharaohs in Egypt.
The famous Temple of Abu Simbel, famous for its gigantic statues and imposing edifices, will be your next stop. This impressive mountain-cut temple complex has depicted Ramses II as mighty and divine through dramatic scenes showing him alongside the gods Amun-Re, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah.
Your trip will head further on toward Wadi El Sebou, a place of uncommon beauty, with several temples offering great views. Each of these sites will afford a deeper look into the culture and history of Ancient Egypt-all within one day.
In the afternoon, after a whole day of sightseeing, take your time to relax on board. Enjoy the serenity of Lake Nasser in your cabin and then later enjoy a delicious dinner put together by our talented chefs while reflecting on the once-in-a-lifetime experiences of your Aswan Tour.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After a delicious breakfast on board, your Egypt Day Tours excursion proceeds for Wadi El Sebou, another archaeological site that boasts of fabulous temples built by Ramses II himself. This area was relocated higher to prevent flooding from Lake Nasser. Reliefs show the victories and homage paid to the gods by the great Pharaoh. The temples are an example of old and modern engineering marvels.
You will also visit Amada Temple, which was built by Thutmose III and dedicated to the god Amon Ra, being one of the oldest temples in Nubia. In this well-preserved temple are well-preserved artwork and inscriptions regarding religious rituals and worship practices of ancient Egyptians on the walls. It also is a cultic centre and representative of the spiritual life at the time, reflecting the skill of the ancient craftsmen especially of the Nubian people during the times of Thutmose III and Ramses II.
You would then head to your cruise ship to relax in the afternoon and enjoy stunning views of Lake Nasser from your cabin. You would enjoy a delicious dinner as you recall the great experiences from your Egypt Day Tours.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Then, a tasty breakfast on board while the boat sails to Qasr Ibrim. This is one of the most important historical sites in Egypt and was once a Nubian fort; inside it once lay the tombs of the Nubian kings and queens from the time of Pharaoh Thutmose III. Although it is now closed to outside visitors, Qasr Ibrim's cultural and spiritual significance is still palpable from onboard ship. This strategic location along the Nile was important for trade and militaristic defense against ancient invaders; its ruins carry very interesting insights into the culture and governance of the Nubian people.
You will visit the overwhelming Abu Simbel, a gigantic complex of temples ordered by the great Pharaoh Ramses II. The bigger temple has colossal statues of Ramses II standing besides the gods Amun, RaHorakhty, and Ptah; all of them postulating the closeness of the Pharaoh to divinity. A small temple given to goddess Hathor is one that symbolizes love and devotion, representing the relationship of Ramses II with his wife, Nefertari.
In the 1960s, these temples were mightily relocated to higher ground to save them from the rise in the waters of Lake Nasser. This was an engineering feat which was quite crucial to save these architectural marvels for future generations to come and see. Also, the temples are phenomenal not only in aspects of size and construction skill but also for what they speak about the power of Ramses II and his religious beliefs. This big temple is specially aligned with the sun, so that it shines into the inner sanctum only once every year at the times of the Pharaoh's birthday and coronation, being an omen of their great knowledge in astronomy and spiritual matters.
Later on, we will return to the ship for more free time. Enjoy your afternoon and you can pick up on some rest or continue reflecting on everything you saw on this amazing, historic site.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
You will have your last Breakfast meal on the Steigenberger Omar El Khayam before leaving for the last destination of your program, which is the Abu Simbel Airport for your final flight by our tour guide.
