Discover Aswan’s highlights on a fascinating half-day private tour with your own Egyptologist guide. Uncover the secrets of the majestic Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis and surrounded by the Nile’s beauty. Explore the mystery of the Unfinished Obelisk, an enormous monument that reveals the skill and challenges of ancient Egyptian stonework. Conclude with a visit to the impressive High Dam, a modern engineering marvel that transformed Egypt’s economy and landscape, blending history, culture, and innovation in one journey.
Your journey begins with a convenient hotel pickup, followed by a scenic motorboat ride across the Nile. Admire the tranquil river views before arriving at the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Set on its own island, this temple is renowned as one of Egypt’s most picturesque sites and was among the last active sanctuaries of ancient Egyptian religion, functioning until the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.
Next, continue to the fascinating Unfinished Obelisk, an immense monument left incomplete in the granite quarries of Aswan. Known as tekhen in ancient Egyptian, it reveals much about the techniques used by ancient craftsmen. Believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut for Karnak’s Temple of Amun, the site provides a rare glimpse into Egypt’s stone-working heritage.
Your final stop is the Aswan High Dam, a modern engineering marvel that redefined Egypt’s landscape. Stretching 3,600 meters long and 111 meters tall, it contains 18 times more material than the Great Pyramid of Khufu and created Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest artificial lakes. Afterward, you will be returned to your hotel.
