After breakfast, our tour guide will take you to visit the Aswan High Dam, which is an embankment dam built in Aswan, Egypt.

After breakfast, our tour guide will take you to see the Philae Temple, which is one of the most beautiful temple complexes in Egypt. To reach the ruins, you will need to take a water taxi to the island of Aglika, located just south of the old Aswan Dam. The temple was moved to its current location after the construction of the High Dam threatened to permanently flood it. During the careful reconstruction, the original design and layout of the complex were preserved, and the island was landscaped to reflect its original location. Philae Temple was a major center of worship for the goddess Isis during the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
