Embark on a luxurious and exhilarating adventure with Respect Egypt Tours and experience 4 Days in Egypt for Christmas and New Year’s. This extraordinary journey will take you from Luxor to Aswan as you explore the wonders of southern Egypt.
Early in the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel in Aswan to begin your Nile Cruise experience. You will be accompanied by a private Egyptologist guide arranged by Traviaz.
Your guided tour will start with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, an impressive engineering landmark that was completed in the 20th century. The dam is very important in controlling the floods along the Nile, generating hydroelectric power, and creating one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, Lake Nasser.
The next stop will be at the Unfinished Obelisk that is located in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. Queen Hatshepsut commissioned this obelisk and was supposed to be the tallest obelisk ever constructed. During its carving, cracks were found that led to the abandonment of the project, leaving behind the rare and valuable experience of the ancient Egyptian method of stone-cutting.
The tour then concludes with a visit to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis. Dating back to the Greco-Roman period(380-362 BC), this temple is closely associated with the myth of Osiris, his death at the hands of Set, and his resurrection through the devotion of Isis. Philae Temple is, to this day, one of the most ambient and eye-catching places along the Nile.
