Itinerary

1. Unfinished Obelisk
Start your day tour in Aswan by getting picked up from your hotel or cruise ship and drive to tour the marvels of one of the most famous stone objects left from ancient Egypt in Aswan, the Unfinished Obelisk. Learn the story behind the creation of the largest known obelisk from an independent tour guide at the site (***optional, separate cost), the Unfinished Obelisk believed to be commissioned by Hatshepsut (c. 1473-1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak. This remarkable Obelisk monument carved of granite stone would have stood about 42 meters (about 137 feet tall) and weighed around 1,200 tons, remains unfinished where it was carved due to a crack discovered in the structure.
Duration: 45 mins
2. Temple of Philae
Continue your tour on a motorboat to the magnificent Philae Temple. Enjoy the scenic views along the Nile of beautiful Aswan. One of the best sites of Aswan, Philae Temple, also known as the Temple of Isis, constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305 BCE to 30 BCE) was dedicated to the Goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. This beautiful Philae temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt consisting of architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines of Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Learn about the greatness of Egyptian history, your independent tour guide at the site (***optional, separate cost) will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own.
Duration: 120 mins
3. Aswan High Dam
Next, continue with a drive to the Aswan High Dam. Built in the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam, a major engineering project, is one of the world’s largest dams. The importance of the High Dam is to generate hydroelectric power, control the flow of the Nile River from flooding, and provide water supply for irrigation. Enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Nasser from the top of the High Dam, along with sights of the huge power station to the north and Kalabsha temple to the south.
