Aswan High Dam
Start your day tour in Aswan and drive to the High Dam of Aswan, an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s. From the top of the High Dam you can gaze across Lake Nasser to the Kalabsha temple in the south and the huge power station to the north.
Temple of Philae
The last of the 3 famous Aswan sites you will see is generally regarded as the best. Philae Temple was carefully moved to its current location (around 500 meters from the original site) when the construction of the High Dam caused surrounding Nile waters to rise. A short motorboat ride takes you to the island, where your guide will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple has a beautiful setting on an island in the river which has been landscaped to match its original site.

An excellent cruise and experience

5.00We had excellent communication ahead of time and a driver waiting for us at the train station. (The train was a good experience too.). Our guide, Mina, was waiting on the boat and explained everything to us. Mina is getting his phd in Egyptian something, and has excellent knowledge and speaks excellent English in a loud voice that is easy to hear. He does an excellent job managing and keeping track of everyone. We had a great time touring temples. We had a group of 25 people which was a perfect number. Days were full with mornings starting at 4-5am and late evenings till 9pm. Food was good. Workers on the boat were good. We got massage on boat but wish we hadn’t because they weren’t that good. Mina collected $40USD from each person to pay out all the tips on the trip. That was nice to not need to tip throughout the day. We paid him ahead of time for tickets. We could use Egyptian or US cash or card which was very convenient. The hot air balloon company told us a month before the trip that we needed to pay an extra $50 or get refunded and not take balloon ride. I didn’t like that as it felt like a bait and switch. I paid the extra money, but in the morning we arrived and waited for an hour, and then they canceled all of the balloon rides. I can’t blame them, though, it was the governing agency canceling due to weather. The boat was older but everything was fine. The trips were excellent. Crossing the Nile was beautiful. Overall a great deal I think. The trip started with lunch at about 1pm and ended about 4pm. Then we all got rides where we needed to go.

5.00Warning! 4 days seem like 1! We had so much fun. It was an incredible experience. The ship was comfortable and everyone was very helpful and kind. Our guide, king Mina was very caring of everything. He books tickets and transportes for everyone and he answered all our questions. His professionalism and his friendliness made him the best “Egyptology teacher”we could ever had. He made us love Egypt. Thank you, Mina. We love you!!!
Absolutely amazing!

5.00King Tut who?? King Mina is the real King around here!! Our trip would not have been complete without him. He is so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Egyptian history. He pointed out so many amazing details we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. He gave helpful travel tips for avoiding scams. The cruise was everything we hoped for! Just the right amount of time relaxing on the boat and many exciting stops to explore. We can’t recommend it enough.
King Mina is the real King

5.00The trip was great, and King Mina was an amazing guide that made us all feel like in ancient Egypt. The crew at the cruise were really friendly. Only bad thing is we had bad luck with the weather so no air balloon for us. Guess we’ll have to come back.
Amazing experience!...

5.00The Nile cruise was a fantastic and well-organized experience. Every day brought new and exciting discoveries of Egypt’s sights and culture. It was more intense than expected, with very early mornings. Our guide, Talaat, was funny and knowledgeable, though at times he explained stuff a little bit too fast and skipped details at some temples. Unfortunately, the hot air balloon ride was canceled, and the alternative was more expensive. Warning! Don't buy anything in the overpriced shops ! Overall, an amazing and memorable trip!
Good experience
