Temple of Philae - Arrive at Aswan Airport, where your Journey to Egypt Tour Guide will meet you at the exit door, holding a sign with your name. Begin your exploration by visiting the magnificent Temple of Philae. Take a motorized boat to the island of Agilika. This sacred site, dedicated to the goddess Isis, showcases a blend of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman civilizations. The temple was carefully dismantled and reassembled when the Aswan High Dam was built. Continue to the granite quarries to see the Unfinished Obelisk, a testament to the skills of ancient Egyptian stonemasons, standing one-third taller than any other ancient Egyptian obelisk. Then, board your Nile cruise boat and enjoy lunch. Later, experience a local felucca ride around the Aswan Islands while enjoying a refreshing Scenic Sundowner.

DAY 2: OPTIONAL ABU SIMBEL | CRUISING THE NILE

Temple of Kom Ombo - Early morning, you have the option to visit the Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan by car (a 3.5-hour drive each way). Discover the impressive twin temples of Ramses II and his wife, Queen Nefertari. The façade of Ramses II’s temple is dominated by four 70-foot-tall statues of the pharaoh.
