Paul and I were invited to go on a cruise ship trip down the Nile and so we went. The trip started in Aswan, where we were met by our guide Amir who seemed to have an unlimited knowledge about everything around us.

First stop was the Aswan Dam, which it was clear had been quite an Egyptian achievement, however with a big empact on the environment and the native people.

After that we went to the first temple of the trip; the Osiris Temple which had had to be moved from its original location to a small island by the name of Philae or Elephantine, when the dam was built.

We had a pretty tight schedule, which didn't make a relaxing trip, but I really enjoyed seeing all the fascinating ancient temples and experiencing the Nile.
