Early in the morning, a private, modern air-conditioned car will pick you up from your hotel. You will then board a first-class train to Aswan. Upon arrival, your personal professional tour guide will meet you and escort you to:
The High Dam of Aswan, one of the most significant and modern structures in Aswan's history, was constructed in the 1960s to safeguard the nation against flood risks, store water, and generate electricity.
One of the largest structures that was never completed is the massive Unfinished Obelisk of Hatshepsut, crafted between 1508 BC and 1458 BC to be erected at the grand Karnak Temple, but it unfortunately fractured during its construction.
The Philae Temple, constructed between 380-362 BC during the Ptolemaic period of ancient Egypt, stands out as the most distinctive temple of its time. It served as a dedicated sanctuary for Isis, the goddess of motherhood and healing. What distinguishes Philae Temple is its remarkable wall paintings that depict the myth of Osiris.
You will then have lunch at the Nile View Restaurant.
Arrive and settle into your 5-star hotel in Aswan for an overnight stay.

They were created to commemorate his victories, achievements, and devotion to the gods, celebrated through the sun festival on February 22 and October, and to express his love and admiration for his wife Nefertari.
