• Lunch will be served on the cruise, and then the tour guide will pick you up for an afternoon visit to one of the city's major highlights, the High Dam. Built in the 1960s on the Nile River, the dam increases agricultural production and protects the country from floods. After admiring this marvel of engineering, you will have the chance to cross the Nile to visit Philae Temple. This ancient complex is filled with ancient structures and monuments dedicated to gods like Isis and Hathor, and this is the ideal place to try and understand aspects of ancient Egyptian civilization.
