Upon arriving in Aswan, your adventure begins with a deep dive into its most iconic landmarks, guided by an expert Egyptologist.
Start at the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel built between 1960 and 1970, transforming Egypt’s economy by generating hydroelectric power and controlling the annual Nile floods.
Next, visit the Unfinished Obelisk, the largest ancient obelisk ever attempted, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC). It remains in the bedrock, offering a rare glimpse into ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques.
Continue to the Philae Temple, a breathtaking monument dedicated to Isis, the goddess of love and motherhood. Saved from submersion and relocated to Agilkia Island as part of UNESCO’s Nubia Campaign, it now stands as a symbol of devotion and resilience.
After an awe-inspiring day, board the MS Jaz Senator Luxury Nile Cruise, settle into your suite-only five-star accommodation, and indulge in a delightful lunch and dinner onboard. Spend the night in comfort as you prepare for the journey ahead.
