For those looking to get more out of their trip, Aswan tour packages often include destinations away from the city to some of the most important sights in Egypt. Visiting the magnificent Philae Temple is usually part of any Philae Temple tour in Aswan, and provides an opportunity to visit one of the most enchanting islands while learning some of the oldest mythology. The challenge of the Abu Simbel day trip from Aswan provides travelers with long views of massive rock temples constructed into the mountainside while navigating during the time of Ramses II. If culture is a primary desire, then participating in the Nubian village tour in Aswan is essential, where tourists can sample brightly painted homesteads, music, strong smells, and the exuberant values of the Nile peoples of Nubia. Topics of interest included in many Aswan guided tours are the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk, where travelers get first-hand knowledge of these gigantic modern and ancient achievements of Egypt. A Nile River cruise in Aswan is the ideal place to get away from the whole world beneath the sun, sailing gently among the islands and palms, and the local backgrounds for miles. These are unique memories that represent the best among the Egypt Day Tours that take the visitors to the highest levels in the real, wealthy Egypt.
