Cruising the Timeless Nile
Aswan Regions

DAY 2/Thu. 2nd September
Visits after breakfast:
The High Dam
Built across the Nile in Aswan
to prevent the annual flooding
of the Nile during late summer,
thus protecting farmland and
its economically important
cotton crop.
The Philae Temple
Near the expansive first Cataract of the Nile and the site of an Egyptian
temple complex. Philae is mentioned by numerous ancient writers, including
Strabo, Diodorus Siculus, Ptolemy, Seneca and Pliny the Elder.

Lunch on board
The Nubian Museum
A showcase of the history, art and culture of Nubia. Established in 1997,
in cooperation with UNESCO, the museum is a reminder of what was lost
beneath Lake Nasser. Exhibits are beautifully displayed in huge halls, where
clearly written explanations take you from 4500 BC through to the present
day.
The Evening
