Today promises a captivating exploration of Aswan, filled with history, mythology, and the vibrant culture of the city.
Our journey begins at the majestic Aswan High Dam, a monumental feat completed in 1970. This colossal rock-fill dam not only tames the mighty Nile but also forms the expansive Lake Nasser, the world's largest artificial reservoir. Learn about the dam's significance and marvel at the engineering prowess that shaped the landscape.
Next, we set sail to the Philae Temple, a sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis. A brief motorboat trip unveils the temple's magnificence, and as you land at the ancient quay, immerse yourself in the legends of Osiris and Isis.
This afternoon, we continue by motorboat to the Nubian Village on Soheil Island. As you cruise along the Nile's waters, see small islands like Saloga and Ghazal, the Sahara's sand dunes, diverse flora and fauna, and migratory birds. Upon reaching the Nubian Village, stroll through its colorful mud-brick houses and gain insight into Nubian history, culture, and traditions. Visit a Nubian family, savor a traditional drink, and explore the possibility of adorning a henna tattoo--a cherished tradition in Nubian weddings.
