DAY 3:

THE WONDERS OF ASWAN: Philae Temple, High Dam & Unfinished Obelisk

After breakfast, we will be greeted by our representative, and take a domestic flight to Aswan. Upon arrival in Aswan, we will head to our hotel. Our adventure will then begin and with the local guide we will begin a fabulous day tour to discover the Philae Temple, reachable in 30 minutes by boat along the Nile River. The small island of Philae, just 450 meters long and less than 150 meters wide, has captured the imagination of countless travelers to Egypt since ancient times. The Temple was famous for its beauty and was known as the "Pearl of Egypt". There was a sense of mystery. Philae was located south of Aswan and, therefore, belonged strictly to Nubia. Isis was worshiped by both Egyptians and Nubians. Fantastic stories were told of her magical powers. We will then continue to the High Dam, an engineering masterpiece, built in 1960 to protect Egypt from the annual floods of the Nile. We will then continue with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. The unfinished obelisk is a rare opportunity to reflect on this complex process and the difficulty of shaping the large stone blocks that were part of most monuments in Egypt. We will arrive at the end of the day in the wonderful Nubian village, with a crazy view of the Nile. We will disembark on Sohail Island and visit a traditional Nubian house to learn about the history and culture of the Nubian people over a welcome glass of tea. Time to take a walk and explore the island freely, strolling through the brightly colored villages and chatting with the locals. The day will end with a local dinner in this beautiful village. Overnight in Aswan.

​

DAY 4:

THE CHARM OF ABU SIMBEL ​

Today is a special day because we will visit the very famous Abu Simbel temple. Wake up at 3:30 in the morning to take our Breakfast Box and leave the hotel. We will reach Abu Simbel by modern air-conditioned coach, a journey of approximately 3 and a half hours. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and greatness of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO have decided to work together to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun Re and to Ramsses II himself. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also called the Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God therefore in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring together Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one single thing. Once the visit is finished we will return to Aswan to board our cruise ship.

DAY 5:

NILE CRUISE: Edfu. Kom Ombo, Temple of Horus & Esna

After our breakfast on board, all ready to explore Edfu where we will stop to visit her temple. Located on the western bank of the Nile, it is the place where the Temple of Horus stands, which with its 2000 years is among the youngest and best preserved works in the country. Covered and protected by sand for centuries before its rediscovery, it has come to us in excellent condition, perfectly maintaining the falcon-shaped statues, the animal symbol of Horus, and the internal walls decorated with hieroglyphs that narrate legends linked to the famous divinity. After the temple visit we will enjoy a good local lunch. We continue sailing towards Kom Ombo. Arriving at this famous temple is an incredible experience, thanks to the perspective that is created as you get closer. We will return aboard our ship to enjoy the view of the river directly from the deck and relax in the pool. Dinner and evening on board our beautiful cruise.
