Breakfast will be served on board. Afterward, you will prepare to join your qualified tour guide for Aswan excursions. The High Dam, which was built by Gamal Abdel Nasser, the former Egyptian president, to hold back water and then generate a large amount of electricity, will be our first visit of the day. We will then board a speedboat to Philae Temple, which was established in the 3rd century BC as a center of worship for the goddess Isis in Greco-Roman times. The unfinished obelisk, discovered in a granite quarry in the southern region of Aswan, will be our next site. After this Egypt day tour, we will return to our Nile cruise ship for an excellent lunch. In the evening, you can relax on board or take an optional excursion to Philae Temple to enjoy the sound and light show in Philae Temple and learn more about the temple and the monarchs who left their treasures there. We will then return to our Nile cruise for the evening.
