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.

Route

  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 Aswan

Assoean is Egyptes rustige zuidelijke stad aan de Nijl, waar feloeken glijden tussen granieten eilanden, Nubische dorpen en oevers met palmen.

De Nijl is hier op zijn mooist, doorbroken door granieten rotsblokken en groene eilanden. Elephantine bevat ruïnes van oude tempels en kleurrijke Nubische dorpen, Kitchener's Island is bedekt met een botanische tuin, en op de westoever zijn de graven van de edelen uitgehouwen in de kliffen van Qubbet el-Hawa, terwijl het gekoepelde mausoleum van de Aga Khan verderop naar het zuiden op een woestijnheuvel staat.
