Proceed to visit Philae Temple, the Greaco Roman temple dedicated to goddess Isis using a small motorboat to get there. This beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It sits on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam.The temple was moved to its current location following the construction of the High Dam, which threatened to submerge it permanently. The careful reconstruction at the current site carefully completed, painstakingly preserving the original appearance and layout of the complex and even landscaping the island to match its former location. Philae rose to prominence during the Ptolomaic Dynasty as the center of the cult of the goddess Isis. This complex was actually one of the last remaining places where the ancient religion survived after the arrival of Christianity in Egypt, officially closing only in 551 AD. Early Christians then used the main temple on the island as a church. - Drive back to your Nile cruise and overnight in Aswan.

    My friends and I booked the cruise to do the tour from Aswan to Luxor. Our guide Mohamed Gobram was super nice and helpful and met all our requests and answered all our questions. I appreciated their organization and the quality of the tour which allowed us to see the main treasures along the course of the Nile! Recommended!!

  • Do not book this tour – it’s the worst experience I’ve ever had.

    We booked a "5-star" cruise based on the description and images provided on Viator. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam. We were placed on a barely 1-star, outdated cruise that bore no resemblance to Viator’s description or the images advertised. Despite raising complaints to both the tour staff and the travel company at check-in, they refused to accommodate us on the originally booked cruise. We were told the images were just for show—meaning they were fake advertising. It appears they overbook and simply place people on whatever cruise is available to make more money. Our original booking was canceled two days prior, and we requested to reschedule for the following day—regretfully, as it was a terrible decision. When onboard, we were asked to sign a handwritten document stating we were satisfied with the cruise, “as per their policy.” When we refused, we were threatened and intimidated by the tour staff and the cruise owner, who said we would be kicked out at 10:30 PM if we didn’t sign. We felt forced to sign because we had already checked out of our hotel and couldn’t easily find an alternative, especially in an unfamiliar country. Viator was contacted, and the only option offered was to cancel the cruise. If you still choose to book this cruise, I strongly advise you to verify real images of the vessel beforehand—otherwise, you will be beyond disappointed. This has been my worst tour experience through Viator—if there was a negative 5 rating, I would select it.
