Your adventure begins as you arrive in Aswan, where your expert Egyptologist guide awaits to take you through some of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks.
Start your journey with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, a marvel of modern engineering constructed between 1960 and 1970 to harness the power of the Nile. This incredible project not only generated hydroelectric power but also transformed Egypt’s economy and culture, providing stability to the entire nation.
Next, head to the Unfinished Obelisk, a colossal monument carved directly from bedrock. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC), this massive stone was intended to complement the Lateran Obelisk at Karnak. Though it was never completed, it offers fascinating insight into the craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian builders.
Sail across the Nile to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to Isis, the goddess of love and magic. Relocated to Agilkia Island to protect it from flooding, this temple stands as a testament to ancient Egypt’s devotion to its deities and the remarkable efforts of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign.
After exploring Aswan’s incredible sites, you will be transferred to Nebu Nile Cruise, where you will check in and settle into your luxurious cabin. Enjoy a delicious lunch and dinner on board as you soak in the serene beauty of the Nile, spending your first night in absolute comfort.
