Here is a paraphrased version of the Aswan excursions in your Egypt Nile cruise itinerary:
After a delicious breakfast aboard the Nile cruise ship, you will be met by your private tour guide to begin your Aswan sightseeing excursions.
First, you will visit the Aswan High Dam, an impressive engineering feat that has protected Egypt from the devastating Nile floods that used to inundate the land for months. Aswan, being the southernmost city in Egypt, is situated near the first Nile cataract, about a thousand kilometers from Cairo.
Next, you will explore the Unfinished Obelisk site, where ancient Egyptians quarried granite that was used to construct the great pyramids, temples, and monuments during the Old and New Kingdoms.
Your tour will then take you to the Philae Temple, a Greco-Roman-style temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. This temple is one of the four sites associated with the legend of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.
After the excursions, you will return to the cruise ship to enjoy a delicious lunch. You will then have a free afternoon to explore Aswan on your own. In the evening, a delightful dinner will be served aboard the cruise, followed by an engaging Nubian cultural performance. You will spend the night docked in Aswan.
