Day One: Visit Aswan Attractions & Sail To Kom Ombo

Morning time, we will pick you up from Aswan Airport / your hotel or anywhere you decide in Aswan by a private air-conditioned car to start your 3 nights Dahabiya Nile cruise by visiting Aswan Highlights including:

Stop at: The Aswan High Dam

The Aswan High Dam was constructed between 1960 and 1970 with the assistance of the Moscow-based Hydroproject Institute. Its purpose was to control the annual flooding of the Nile, generate hydroelectric power, and provide increased water storage for irrigation through Lake Nasser.
Following its construction, several ancient monuments, including Abu Simbel and Philae Temple, were threatened by rising waters. Thanks to an extraordinary UNESCO-led rescue mission in the 1960s—one of the most remarkable archaeological operations in history—these temples were successfully relocated and preserved.

Stop at: The Unfinished Obelisk

The Unfinished Obelisk is a unique ancient monument that offers invaluable insight into how obelisks were carved in ancient Egypt. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC), it was intended to stand at the entrance of Karnak Temple alongside what is now known as the Lateran Obelisk in Rome.
Known in ancient times as “Tekhenu,” meaning “to pierce the sky,” the obelisk would have reached a height of 42 meters and weighed approximately 1,200 tons. A crack discovered during construction halted the work, leaving the obelisk in its original location to this day.

Stop at: Philae Temple

Philae Temple is a breathtaking sanctuary dedicated to Isis, the goddess of love and magic. The temple is famous for its reliefs depicting the Myth of Osiris, telling the story of Osiris’s murder by his brother Set, his resurrection as ruler of the underworld, and the triumph of his son Horus, the sky god.
Due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the temple was relocated in the 1960s to Agilkia Island as part of a UNESCO rescue project, preserving this masterpiece for future generations.

The Temple of Kom Ombo, meaning “The Hill of Gold,” dates back to the Greco-Roman period (205–180 BC) during the reign of Ptolemy V.

Used as royal burial chambers between the 16th and 11th centuries BC, the valley served as the final resting place for Egypt’s pharaohs and their treasures. In recognition of its historical importance, the site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is a magnificent rock-cut monument located at Deir El-Bahari.
