Late that night we docked at Aswan. In the morning we took a bus to see the unfinished obelisk and ancient quarry. We went to the high dam that was built across the Nile in 1973. It created a lake 550km x 20km, and 160 meters deep. Then we took a boat to the island of Philae to visit more ancient sites and learn more history. Then we were taken to the oil palaces of Mohamed El Fayed (Dodi’s father). He farms flowers, near Aswan, to produce essential oils. He supplies the oils to all the big perfume companies around the world. They just add alcohol to make perfume. His oils are organic and of a very high quality, so we purchased a range of medicinal essential oils to use in our treatment programs. The prices were so good that we may look at importing these oils to sell under our label. Finally we were taken back to the river, then transferred in small boats to a five star hotel on an island in the middle of the Nile.
