It provides irrigation water and electricity for the whole of Egypt. Located 13 km south of Aswan then drive to visit philae temple.

Temple of Philae - Proceed to visit Philae Temple, the Greaco Roman temple dedicated to goddess Isis using a small motorboat to get there. This beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It sits on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam.The temple was moved to its current location following the construction of the High Dam, which threatened to submerge it permanently. The careful reconstruction at the current site carefully completed, painstakingly preserving the original appearance and layout of the complex and even landscaping the island to match its former location. Philae rose to prominence during the Ptolomaic Dynasty as the center of the cult of the goddess Isis. This complex was actually one of the last remaining places where the ancient religion survived after the arrival of Christianity in Egypt, officially closing only in 551 AD. Early Christians then used the main temple on the island as a church. - Drive back to your Nile cruise and overnight in Aswan.

My trip from Aswan to Luxor with Gamal my tour guide - Firstly my welcome to the place was great. The tour guide and the driver we so welcoming. The second part the experience they had about the places we visited. You could tell that they are informed of the tour and locations. I was blown away by the building I have never seen in my life. The information and the background history about the buildings was amazingly detailed and very informative. Besides my guide, the people we met we so happy to welcome tourist in their land. I felt at home and safe. I enjoyed the food so much I must say. I will bring my family here again.

Our Guide Ahmed Saad - I Travelled on the MS Nile symphony. Very reasonable food, lovely staff and an adequate cabin with good air conditioning. Importantly though, it was a terrific way to get to grips with what the Ancient Egyptian civilisation had up it's very wide and erudite sleeves Our Egyptologist Ahmed Saad was excellent. Check out reviews on side trips to add them if they're right for you. Thanks let's Discover Egypt

A wonderful nile cruise - Ali and his team did an outstanding job arranging all of our side tours. They helped us with Abu Simble, Nubian village, Luxor Hot Air Balloon, the Nile cruise and finally private transportation to Hurghada in the Red Sea. Everyone on his team was extremely professional, courteous and cared for us so well. He was in constant communication with our private guide ensuring that everything went as planned. We felt safe and our private guide salama was very knowledgeable. Also, all of our private divers were very professional and had comfortable clean cars with air condition. We found let's Discover Egypt Tours by accident when searching the internet and we are so happy we found him! We highly recommend him!

The best guide ever - My wife and i did a 3 day cruise from Aswan to Luxor, which is a pleasant way to navigate the multiple sites to see. We used the Nile symphony cruise ship which is a beautifully modern spacious ship, with excellent food and service. Our Guide Gamal was a knowledgeable, experienced guide, and was really understanding of our kids ebbing energy! Gamal spoke perfect English and narrated the Egyptian mythology in a unique storytelling way! Thank you Gamal for making our trip memorable.
