Aswan High Dam

After arriving in Aswan last night we begin today's adventures with visits to the Aswan High Dam (which I will talk about briefly during my presentation to our group) and the Temple of Philae. After lunch on board we will have a short ride on a felucca to sail around Elephantine Island. The satellite image courtesy of earthobservatory.nasa.gov shows the Nile River on the North while the huge (and artificial) Lake Nasser lies to the south.
