Tag 09 Aswan tour + transfer back to Cairo
August 6, 2027
The day began with a wonderful breakfast to prepare you for your unique experiences in Aswan. High Dam is your first destination because it is a wonderful structure that both managed the Nile floods and introduced light to Egypt. Look in wonder at this giant structure because it is fantastic human work that created these changes to the region. Our Egypt tour now moves to the Unfinished Obelisk, where one can learn about the massive granite stone that remained unfinished in ancient history. Master craftsmen once carved this monumental column, which they wanted to endure for eternity, but their work was left incomplete because history did not register why it was abandoned.
A leisurely motorboat ride will take you along the magnificent Nile waters as your tour continues to the magnificent Philae Temple, a work of perfection of the Ptolemaic era. The site was endangered by the rising water of the High Dam but UNESCO made a valiant attempt at relocating it to higher land. You can witness its engravings in detail as your imagination walks alongside the pharaoh's spirit, which roams between walls. Your departure from Aswan includes a local restaurant lunch and a return flight to Cairo to continue your 10-day Eclipse Egypt 2027 tour, including the Nile cruise.
