Tour Plan

Day 1: Arrival Aswan - Nile Cruise

Upon arriving in Aswan, a Pharaohn Tours representative will meet you at your hotel, Aswan airport, or railway station. Start your day exploring the Temple of Philae on Agilika Island. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this Greco-Roman temple is accessed by a small motorboat due to its location south of the old Aswan Dam. The temple was relocated to avoid submersion after the construction of the High Dam. Continue to the impressive High Dam, built in 1960 for flood control and electricity generation, creating Lake Nasser. Conclude your day by boarding your Nile Cruise for an overnight stay.
