reassembled stone by stone on Agilkia Island until 1980, as it was threatened by the dam's rising
waters. In the afternoon, you'll sail on a felucca, a traditional Upper Egyptian sailboat that has

exquisite paintings and reliefs in the tombs of high dignitaries reflect the life of that period. In the
fascinating Terrace Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, you'll learn about the famous expedition to
