We had a short, uneventful flight to Aswan, following the Nile. It was beautiful to see the dessert.
When we landed it was hot and sunny!
Aswan is so much smaller than Cairo but then again most cities are.
We started touring right away with a stop at the High Dam including the friendship monument built by the Russians and Egyptians. Then we drove over the older English dam for 1902. These structures regulate the Nile and make the water more usable.
After the Dam we checked into our hotel which is on an island in the Nile. It was a but scary at first as our boat ran head into another boat! Luckily a young boat hand pushed the boats away with little impact.
We checked out the pool but the sun was going down and it was getting chilly. So we went to the 13 floor restaurant to watch the sunset.
