Enjoy a sumptuous lunch on your Nile cruise before the adventure begins by taking a tour of the following sites:

 

📍 Aswan High Dam

Completed in 1970, this construction is renowned for accomplishing what no other construction has ever done before. It changed the course of the Nile River in the last 7000 years! They impounded several hundred million cubic tons of Nile water to provide more than half of Egypt’s electricity supply.

 

📍 Philae Temple

The Temple of ISIS (the Egyptian goddess) was built of various dozens of stones. They later had to be taken to safe grounds to preserve them from flooding Lake Naser is one such temple which is about a water reservoir. Did you know it was one of the last places where ancient Egyptians practiced their traditional religion?

 

📍 Unfinished Obelisk

Here you’ll find the largest obelisk attempted by the ancient Egyptians, but it was abandoned because of the cracks in the granite. The obelisk, as it stands today, was originally started by the ancient Egyptians. In books, it is portrayed as a towering structure, reaching an impressive height of 42 meters above the ground.

 

Later enjoy having dinner on the Nile, as in the end, this pleasant ending can take place thanks to the impeccable service of Respect Egypt Tours.

Enjoying the relaxing breakfast on the cruise, we will take you to the most interesting temple complexes along the Nile - Kom Ombo and Edfu.

 

📍 Kom Ombo Temple

The temple complex earned its name as a “Dual temple” because it dedicates itself to two deities: Horus and Sobek. What is even more astonishing is that there were skeletons of crocodile mummies discovered here because this was the area of worship of the crocodile god, Sobek.

 

📍 Edfu Temple

The Temple of Horus is the best-preserved temple in Egypt, and it houses inscriptions detailing the daily rituals of ancient Egyptian priests. This temple’s massive columns are intact, allowing you to step back in time and imagine what ancient Egypt looked like.

This valley was eligible to honor the pharaohs because of its reserve of over sixty tombs. Which includes those of over sixty others faced with exquisite decorating of the afterlife images. You may still be interested to know that archaeologists unearthed Cleopatra’s tomb in an Arnoldotorean fashion in the year 1922, sparking the interests of people in Egypt.

 

📍 Hatshepsut’s Temple

The ancient Egyptians built this magnificent temple on the edge of the mountains for the only woman in history who became a pharaoh. Shockingly, her stepson sought to wipe out every trace of her rule.

 

📍 Colossi of Memnon

These Two monumental statues of two figures have been in front of the complex of temples for the last thirty-four hundred-plus years. People believed that the statues “sang” at dawn because they cracked and produced sounds, which they interpreted as magic.
