Aswan Excursions
Aswan
| Full day/overnight tourThe marvellous temples of Ramses II and his wife Nefetari, where colossal statues announce that civilization starts here, make a fascinating must see experience. Moved to high ground when the Aswan High Dam was built, these awe inspiring ancient monuments are perched on the shores of Lake Nasser, whose waters are fed from the mighty Nile source in Africa |

Evening tour
Motoring by boat over the waters of the Nile to the Temple of Philae is a most enchanting way to begin the experience of a dramatic sound and light performance. The legend of Isis and Osiris and the history of Hapi, the God of the Nile, is narrated under the stars in this most romantic evening. |

Half day tour Sail by boat to the Nubian village to experience the life of the local people. Climb the mountain of St. Simeon, where the Kingdom of the Nobatae was converted to Christianity and where enough survives within the Monastery`s 10-ft high walls to create an evocative impression of the community which once flourished there. |

Half day tour
Sail by felucca to the Botanical Gardens on Elephantine Island where Consul-General Kitchener indulged his passion for exotic flora, importing shrubs, trees and seeds from as far afield as India and Malaysia. It is pleasant to walk along the island’s shady paths, enjoying its fragrance and a variety of bird life before taking another felucca sail back to Aswan. |
