A quick and refreshing tour to run away from the busy world, to be close to the primitive and nature. Along the way, we pass through Plant Island, originally named Kitchener Island.

早餐後，參觀【高壩】。由於尼羅河時常氾濫，所以政府興建了高壩，除了控制氾濫的洪水之外，還可以利用水力發電。壩高110米，長3600米，建於1960年代，比金字塔還大十七倍，是世界七大水壩之一。之後前往遺古埃及人遺留下的一支尚未完成的【方尖石碑】。這個方尖碑長41米，重1267噸，原是女王哈特舍普蘇持修建的。

Will continue our journey after breakfast. The visit of the two attractions: The High dam and the unfinished obelisk make us discover the two extraordinary feats of Egyptian engineering separated by 3.5 millennia of history. Take in sweeping views from the top of the modern, 364-foot (111-meter) dam that controls the Nile River's yearly floods and sends water and power to every corner of Egypt. Gaze into the excavations around an obelisk that would have towered above any known ancient obelisk, then learn how it was carved from solid - but fatally flawed - bedrock.

We will return to the ship for lunch and continue to our next stop - Kom Ombo. Ombos was a garrison town under every dynasty of Egypt as well as the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt, The Temple of Kom Ombo located on the banks of the Nile in a village of the same name, Kom Ombo is unique in Egypt as a double temple - dedicated to two deities, Sobek and Horus. The temple is unique for its dedication to two different deities: the local crocodile-headed god Sobek, and the first "god of the Kingdom", the falcon-headed god Horus the Elder (also called Haroeris). This double dedication was deliberate. Not only is it architecturally duplicated, with two sets of courts, hypostyle halls and sanctuaries, the twin temple is symbolic of the local and Universalist themes that the two different deities represented. We return to the ship for dinner and enjoy the night activity on board.
