Points forts

Your tour begins with a walk across the High Dam, which was constructed between 1960 and 1970 to separate Lake Nasser from the Nile River. Hear why this powerful embankment dam became a key objective of the Egyptian government in 1952, mainly to control the floods that used to happen every year during late summer, next board a motorboat and enjoy a scenic ride on the river Nile to Lake Nasser and Agilkia Island, which has been shaped to match the size of the magnificent Philae Temple. .Visit this ancient temple of Isis. Stroll through its vast site, occupying about a quarter of the island, and explore its many other treasures, including the first Chapel of Isis, the Chapel of Osiris, and the Temple of Horus.

Itinéraire

  1. One of Nubia's most important monument sites, the Temples of Philae, 12 kilometers south of Aswan, was an ancient pilgrimage center for the cult of Isis and dazzled travelers with its power for centuries. This sacred site was venerated from the Pharaonic era up to the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods with each ruler adding their own stamp onto the stones here. Saved from a watery grave by UNESCO's rescue project, which transferred the monuments block by block from Philae Island to Agilika Island, today, the temples continue to work their charm on all who visit.

About Assouan

Assouan, paisible ville du sud égyptien sur le Nil : felouques entre îles de granit, villages nubiens et rives bordées de palmiers.

Le Nil est ici à son plus beau, entrecoupé de blocs de granit et d'îles vertes. L'île Éléphantine abrite des ruines de temples antiques et des villages nubiens colorés, l'île Kitchener est couverte par un jardin botanique, et sur la rive ouest les tombeaux des Nobles sont creusés dans les falaises de Qubbet el-Hawa, tandis que le mausolée à dôme de l'Aga Khan se dresse sur une colline du désert plus au sud.
