We will admire the Sphinx with a human head attributed to King Khafre and a lion’s body, and visit the Temple of Khafre. In the afternoon we head to the Citadel of Saladin, declared a World Heritage Site and home to the Mosque of Mohamed Ali or “Alabaster Mosque”.

Day 5 - Feb 2 - Nile Cruise Edfu / Kom Ombo / Aswan
Full board on board. Visit to the Temple of Horus. It is the best-preserved temple in Egypt and the most important after Karnak. One of its most curious features is the temple’s lighting, with increasingly smaller rooms that gradually prevented the passage of light until reaching the dark sanctuary, which receives illumination only from the axis. Navigation to Kom Ombo. Visit to the temple dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. In this temple, the relief of medical instruments stands out above all. Over the years, the people of this town did not like being associated with a god that represents evil (Sobek), so they added another god, Haroeris, as his brother and partner in the temple’s worship. Legend has it that Sobek, the evil brother, plotted against his brother Haroeris, and the population, seeing their beloved god abandon the town, also departed until leaving the town completely deserted. Navigation to Aswan. Dinner and overnight on board in Aswan.

Visit to the High Dam, considered the largest dam in the world at the time, with a body of 3,800 meters and 111 meters in height, the Unfinished Obelisk with its height of 42 meters and weight of 1,176 tons in the pink granite quarries. The Temple of Philae or the temple of the goddess Isis, built in the Greek period and relocated to Agilkia Island to save it from the waters of the Nile after the dam was built. Felucca ride around the islands of Aswan. Overnight on board in Aswan.

Discover the amazing temples of Abu Simbel with this excursion from Aswan. Our representative at the destination will pick you up at the indicated time to then take a vehicle to Abu Simbel. Once in Abu Simbel, we will be able to contemplate the famous two temples that were carved into the rock in 1284 BC under the orders of Pharaoh Ramses II over 20 years as monuments dedicated—one temple to the pharaoh himself and the other temple to his first and favorite wife Nefertari—as a display of his power against his Nubian neighbors. The guided tour will last around 2 hours and afterwards you will have sufficient time to explore every corner of both temples and take excellent photos for future memories. The temples are part of the Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae Open-Air Museum, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. The condition of the temples is excellent, as over time they were forgotten and covered with sand until their discovery in 1813. Subsequently, the complex was relocated to an artificial hill to prevent them from being submerged after the construction of the Aswan Dam. After enjoying this jewel, we will take the vehicle back to Aswan. Transfer to your accommodation hotel.
