This was a great adventure! We got to see the Aswan dam, the Philae temple, and the Nubian village. All were breathtaking, and our guide and driver were absolutely amazing! Unlike the rest of our trip, there wasn't as much walking, as most of the sights were near large bodies of water. What does that mean - sailing on the Nile! There's nothing quite as jaw-dropping as sailing on the Nile, and that's exactly what we got to do for a sizable part of the day. We also got a first-class meal at a high-quality restaurant that was pre-arranged for us. If you get the chance, also ask to go to the Aswan Botanical Gardens - you won't be disappointed!
