Tour overview
Unfinished Obelisk (45 Mins): Start your day at the ancient quarries. See the massive obelisk commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut. If finished, it would have been the largest in the world; learn why it remains attached to the bedrock today.

Aswan High Dam (30 Mins): Move on to the High Dam, a rock-fill engineering marvel built between 1960 and 1970. Learn about its epic dimensions and how it protects Egypt from the Nile’s annual floods.

Philae Temple (1.5 Hours): Take a scenic motorboat ride to Agilika Island. Explore the temple dedicated to the Goddess Isis, which was meticulously dismantled and moved to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

Return: Relax in your private vehicle as we transfer you back to your hotel, cruise, or station.

Conclusion: Head back to your hotel with photos and memories of Aswan's wonders that will last a lifetime.
