Itinerary

Today enjoy a full day to discover Nubia in Aswan. Our guide will welcome you in the hotel lobby and take you to the following places:

The museum also includes many other statues that depict historical events, including a statue of the ruler of Kush, Nehi, kneeling before a pharaonic goddess, dating back to the 18th Dynasty (1549/1550 and 1292 BC), according to the signboard.

After that, you will be transferred to the Temple of Philae. Long ago, the Temple of Philae was referred to as Pilak, a name derived from Greek and Latin languages. It was later known in the Islamic time period as the Citadel or Island of Ans al-Wujud. The Temple of Philae is situated on Philae Island, which is an island positioned in the center of the Nile River. This island was one of the critical defensive strongholds for Egypt. Philae Temple was relocated from its original position to a new site on Agilika Island due to the threat of flooding after the High Dam was built.

Enjoy visiting the cathedral in Aswan and learn about it with our guide. The monastery's two parallel walls along the Nile are separated by two entrances. The first entrance is located east of the Nile, while the other entrance is in the west, towards the desert. These two entrances do not lead directly to the monastery courtyard, as they are broken or bashoura entrances. This type of entrance is considered a characteristic of military and military buildings and installations. Each entrance is fortified with towers on both sides and equipped with guard and observation rooms. Therefore, the monastery is a defensive building. This is natural given that it was built in the desert.

The large ancient monastery was built in the 7th century AD. It was rebuilt again in the 10th century AD but was destroyed in the 11th century AD. Some believe that the monastery was built in the 5th century AD. The general public calls the Monastery of Anba Hedra the Monastery of Saint Simon.

Finally, after enjoying the most important sites of this day and having your lunch, you will return to your hotel.
