    Itinerary

    Enjoy a relaxing and cultural sailboat ride to the Elephantine Island. Known for its archaeological sites; Elephantine Island possibly played an important role in the ancient ivory trade. It used to form a natural frontier between Egypt and Nubia. Though most of its old structures have perished with time, the island still maintains a serene and essentially rural atmosphere. Archeologists have discovered remains of many temples here, as well as a small step pyramid and two Nilometers--used by ancient Egyptians to measure water levels during the flood season. Do not miss a temple dedicated to the ram-headed god Khnum, one of ancient Egypt's oldest deities and the creator of the Nile. At the end of your tour, you will be back to Aswan.
