Today we flew from Aswan to Abu Simbel, and back, to see the temples there. When we got back to Aswan, we stopped at the Aswan High Dam for a photo op. After the dam, we went back to the ship for lunch and then went to the Unfinished Obelisk at the quarry. After dinner, we went on a felucca ride (a felucca is a small sailboat) and then saw a show on ship (a whirling dervish and belly dancer).
