Day 1 – Arrival & Cultural Highlights

Aswan - Meet and greet at Aswan Airport or Train Station (Guide holding a sign)

Nubian Village - After checking into the hotel and enjoying breakfast, visit the Nubian village located along the Nile’s banks. The Nubians are known for their deep religious beliefs, including the concept of an afterlife. Witness crocodile breeding and the art of henna drawing. Explore Nubian schools and learn about the Nubian alphabet. Return to the hotel afterward.

Abu Simbel & Aswan Landmarks

Abu Simbel Temple Complex - Visit Abu Simbel, the High Dam, the unfinished obelisk, and Philae Temple. Early in the morning, check out from the hotel and leave your luggage at the reception to embark on a trip to Abu Simbel. This magnificent temple, built during King Ramses II’s reign, was designed to promote Egyptian religion and showcase the king’s pride. The guide will provide an engaging explanation of the temple’s interior.

Aswan High Dam - Return around 12:30 pm to collect your luggage and enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant. Afterward, visit the High Dam, the unfinished obelisk, and Philae Temple with an Egyptian guide. The Aswan High Dam, constructed with Soviet assistance during Gamal Abdel Nasser’s era, effectively controls water flow and reduces the impact of Nile floods. It also generates electricity and is a popular tourist attraction in Aswan.

Temple of Philae - The name Philae, or Velay, is derived from Greek, meaning “beloved” or “granules,” while the Arabic name “Anas” is inspired by the myth of Anas from the tales of One Thousand and One Nights. The Philae Temple was originally dedicated to the goddess Isis. Transfer to Aswan train station, airport, or hotel for the conclusion of the tour and final departure.
