Itinerary
Start your day with a visit to the Philae Temple, beautifully situated on Agilkia Island. With your private guide, explore the temple dedicated to Isis, one of the most picturesque and significant temples of ancient Egypt. Learn about the temple’s fascinating history and the UNESCO-led relocation project that saved it from the rising waters of the Nile.
Continue your tour with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, an impressive feat of engineering that tamed the Nile and provided Egypt with much-needed hydroelectric power. Your guide will explain the dam’s construction, its impact on the region, and its role in Egypt’s modernization.
Conclude your tour with a visit to the Unfinished Obelisk, the largest known ancient obelisk. Left incomplete in its quarry, the obelisk offers insights into the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to carve these massive structures. Your guide will provide context on the significance of obelisks in Egyptian culture and the reasons behind the obelisk's abandonment.
After exploring Aswan’s key sites, enjoy a comfortable private transfer back to your hotel or cruise ship. Reflect on the day’s discoveries as you relax and take in the scenic views of Aswan’s landscape.
