Abu simbel and Aswan from Cairo by flight

Upon arrival in Aswan, the Five S Travel Egyptologist tour guide will escort you from the airport to continue exploring Aswan’s attractions:

Philae Temple: Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple narrates the famous Egyptian myth of Isis reviving her husband and the mummification of Osiris. Originally built during Ptolemy II's reign, the temple was relocated to Agilika island after the High Dam's construction to protect it from flooding.

The High Dam: This engineering marvel, a rock-fill dam on the Egypt-Sudan northern border, was constructed between 1960 and 1968 to shield Egypt from the Nile's annual floods. Inaugurated in 1971, it stands 111m high, extends 3,830m in length, and has a 980m wide base. Its spillway can discharge 11,000m³ per second.

A Felucca Ride: Enjoy a felucca sail on the River Nile around Aghakhan and Elephantine Islands (visit not included).

After the tour, you will head to Aswan Airport for your return flight to Cairo.
