Discover the highlights of Aswan, Egypt’s serene southern city, on this half-day guided tour. Visit the impressive High Dam, explore the beautifully relocated Philae Temple dedicated to Isis, and marvel at the Unfinished Obelisk, a giant ancient monument still lying in its quarry. This Aswan tour combines engineering marvels and spiritual heritage into one unforgettable journey.
Your Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in a private air-conditioned vehicle.
Visit the Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt’s modern engineering triumphs. Learn how this massive structure controls the flow of the Nile and supports Egypt’s power grid.
Enjoy a scenic boat ride to Agilkia Island, where the stunning Temple of Philae was relocated after the dam’s construction. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple is a masterpiece of Ptolemaic architecture and one of the most romantic ruins in Egypt.
Head to the ancient granite quarries to see the Unfinished Obelisk, which would have been the largest obelisk ever constructed had it not cracked. It provides deep insights into ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques.
After the tour, you’ll be driven back to your hotel or cruise ship.
