We cruise to Kom Ombo over lunch. This afternoon we visit the Temple of Kom Ombo, dedicated to Sobek the Crocodile God and Horus the Hawk God.

Meals: B/L/D one of the most spectacular manmade features on earth. This magnificent temple boasts four seated figures of the Pharaoh Ramses II carved out of the rock and standing 60ft high. To avoid being flooded when Lake Nasser was formed by the opening of the Aswan High Dam the temples were moved to higher ground by UNESCO between 1968 and 1972 in an incredible feat of engineering. Included today is a visit to the Aswan Dam, constructed when Egypt was still a British Protectorate. The 364 foot high walls hold back the 300 mile long body of water that is Lake Nasser, the world's largest reservoir. We also visit the Unfinished Obelisk and the Temple of Philae.
