the Aswan Dam was built by the British between 1898 and 1902. At the time of its construction, it was the largest dam in the world, and its height was twice raised again in an effort to control the river. The roads to Abu Simbel and the airport cross the dam and the views over the river and islands are stunning. Stretching south more than 500 km (310 miles) from the High Dam and reaching depths of over 180 m (590 ft), Lake Nasser is the largest artificial lake in the world. Crocodiles thrive in Lake Nasser, it’s one of the most important tourist attractions in the Lake, Crocodiles hunting is prohibited by Egyptian Law.

As the center of the cult of Isis, the island of Philae was an important place of pilgrimage for worshippers until long into the Christian era. From Philae, Isis was said to watch over the sacred island of Biga, one of the mythical burial sites of her husband Osiris. From here, a long courtyard, flanked by colonnades, leads to the magnificent Temple of Isis, the main building in the Philae temple complex . To the west of the temple lies the Gate of Hadrian, which was inscribed, in 24th August AD 394, with Egypt’s last hieroglyphics. On the eastern side of the island, the small Temple of Hathor contains reliefs of musicians, among them Bes, the god of singing. Further south, close to the edge of the water, is the classically graceful, 14-columned Kiosk of Trajan, which has scenes of the Roman emperor burning incense in front of Osiris and Isis. At the northern end of the island, the Temple of Augustus and Gate of Diocletian lie in ruins.

The Chapel of Hathor, just to the south of the temple, now houses a few crocodile mummies from the nearby crocodile necropolis.

The City of Edfu & The Temple of Horus at Edfu Edfu stands beside the Nile almost exactly halfway between Luxor and Aswan . The Temple of Horus at Edfu, which was buried under sand and silt for nearly two thousand years, is the largest and best-preserved Ptolemaic temple in Egypt. Construction of the temple began under Ptolemy III Euergetes in 237 BC and the main temple complex took 25 years to complete.

Day 6: Nile cruise – Luxor West Bank & Transfer to Hurghada

Valley of the Kings The remote, barren Valley of the Kings was the necropolis of the New Kingdom pharaohs. By digging their tombs deep into the Theban Hills, pharaohs from Tuthmosis I (c.1500 BC) on hoped to stop robbers stealing the priceless possessions buried with them. But for all that, the structures themselves remain, their dramatic corridors and burial chambers stunningly adorned with symbolic accounts of the journey through the underworld and ritual paintings to assist the pharaohs in the afterlife. and many different amazing Ancient Temple Monuments. In the Valley of the kings you will be taken back in time entering the tombs of the Pharaoh’s that contain painted pillars and walls.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut Against its stark mountainous backdrop, the partly rock-hewn Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir al-Bahri is a breathtaking sight. It was designed by Queen Hatshepsut’s architect Senenmut in the 18th Dynasty and is an extraordinary monument which rises from the desert plain in a series of imposing terraces.

The temple was damaged by Ramses II and his successors, and Christians later turned it into a monastery (hence the name Deir al-Bahri, which means “Northern Monastery”). However, the ongoing excavation of the site continues to reveal much exquisite decoration. Adjacent to the main temple are the ruins of the much older Temple of Montuhotep II, the ruler of the 11th Dynasty who managed to unite Egypt, and the 18th-Dynasty Temple of Tuthmosis III.

Then to see the Colossi of Memnon Soaring 18 m (60 ft) into the sky, the two enthroned statues of Amenhotep III are the first monuments most visitors see on arriving in the West Bank. They originally guarded Amenhotep’s mortuary temple – thought to have been the largest ever built in Egypt -which was plundered for building material by later pharaohs and gradually destroyed by the annual floods. All that remains are the two faceless colossi, which, despite the ravages of time, are an impressive sight.
