As you explore these historical gems, you'll hear tales about the remarkable engineering feats of the ancient Egyptians.
Then, it is time to indulge in a delicious lunch at a Nubian restaurant, where you can try specialities such as Tagine, a hearty stew cooked in a traditional conical clay pot, packed with vegetables and meat.
After the experience, your guide and driver will escort you back to Aswan.
