Take a felucca ride and enjoy the nearby islands, in particular Kitchener Island, from where Lord Kitchener planned the Sudan campaign and later created a fine botanical garden with many rare species of plants and shrubs. Afterwards, head for the terrace bar at the Old Cataract and enjoy a slow gin and tonic whilst the sun slips down behind the far horizon and a refreshing breeze wafts the evening air.
Temple of Isis, Philae built during the Ptolemaic period, this romantic temple is situated on an island between the Old and New Aswan dams and is reached by a short motor boat ride. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, a great part of the temple still remains and contains many interesting reliefs.
