Our adventure started with a 3:00 am wake up call to take a 1 hr taxi ride to the airport. We flew into Aswan and had 2 private cars waiting for us. Our first tour guide "Mark" showed us the "High Dam"; which keeps the Nile from flooding upper Egypt, then "The unfinished Oblisque" where they finished the stone for building the oblisque which are in "The Karnak Temple". We finally arrive at the boat around 10:00 am and had lunch at 1:00. We did not have any other sites for the rest of the day, so we caught up on some sleep then went to dinner and watched a belly dancing show afterwards.
Day 2 was still in Aswan, with a trip to the Philie Temple and the Nubieum Musuem. When the dam was built it forced the Nubieum Tribe to be reloccated and moved into the mountains. Kind of reminded me of how we treated the Indians many years ago. The Philie Temple was on a lower Island which also had to be moved when the Dam was built.
