Start your day with a visit to the High Dam, which is regarded as a modern wonder of Egypt. The dam is designed to regulate the Nile flooding and generate hydroelectric energy, and it presents an excellent view of Lake Nasser-The most enormous artificial lake in the world. Learn its history and how it changed the economy and agriculture of Egypt.
Then move to the Unfinished Obelisk; it is one of the enormous ancient monuments that are still lying in its quarry. This monument weighs so large that it is thought to be the project of Queen Hatshepsut and gives insight into ancient stone-cutting techniques. It is a part of the evidence of the incredible skill of the artisans, who left quite an interesting view of why the obelisk was abandoned.
Continue sailing to Philae Temple dedicated to the goddess Isis-traveling this invariant way from the so-called Agilkia Island to one of the most beautiful sites of Aswan. Stroll through the wonderful halls and exquisite carvings while learning about the rescue of the complex's flooding caused during the construction of the High Dam.
End the day with a languid walk in Aswan's lively markets, where you can buy spices, perfumes, and Nubian crafts. And all this after a day filled with history, culture, and painting landscapes—to your hotel or cruise, with unforgettable memories of the carven beauty of Aswan.
