First stop is the incredible visit to the Aswan High Dam, the great project that was done by the modern Egyptian president Nasser in the 20th century to save the country from the yearly Nile floods and generate electricity for every corner of Egypt.

Then continue the Aswan tours toward the Temple of Philae, the Ptolemaic temple that was dedicated to the goddess of magic according to the ancient Egyptian religion, Goddess Isis.

The Luxor region of Upper Egypt was known as Thebes for the ancient Egyptians, and it was also the capital of Egypt in both the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom. On the eastern side you’ll find the modern city of Luxor, and there is the Luxor Temple, of course.

At the northern end of town lies the immense Karnak Temple complex, which was built about 4055 years ago. It is especially noted for its grand hypostyle hall, with 134 massive columns, so even if you’re not into history you’ll still feel small in a good way.

You can start exploring the ruins from the first pylon, and then you’ll basically have this quiet trip back in time. Along the way, we will walk by means of an avenue bordered on both sides by sphinxes, and that’s where we will visit the Luxor Temple again, yes, one of the grandest worship places on earth, constructed by King Amenhotep III.

We’ll return to the cruise ship once our Luxor east bank visits are finished.
