Itinerary

Our driver will pick you up from your hotel\Nile cruise

You will start the tour by visiting the Sacred Temple of Horus at Edfu, that is one of the best-preserved shrines in Egypt and the largest temple dedicated to Horus and Hathor. It was the center of several festivals sacred to Horus. The temple was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC. The inscriptions on its walls provide important information on language, myth and religion during the Hellenistic period in Egypt. (Duration 1 hour)

Then you will head to the beautiful city of Kom Ombo to visit its most famous temple names after the city. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period. The temple itself had a specific theology. The characters invoked the gods of Kom Ombo and their legend. (Duration 1 hour)

The next stop will be the tranquil Temple of Philae. This legendary site was built in 690 BC to honor Isis, the Egyptian goddess of healing and magic. As one of the last places of worship built in the classical Egyptian style, the Philae Temple has a complex and fascinating history written all over its walls, and you will get to learn about it from out Professional tour guide. (Duration 1 hour)

Finally, you will head to the High Dam of Aswan. It is considered one of the world's largest embankment dams, which was built across the Nile in Aswan, Egypt, between 1960 and 1970. Its significance largely eclipsed the previous Aswan Low Dam initially completed in 1902 downstream, and it had a significant effect on the economy and culture of Egypt. (Duration 1 hour)
