Tour of Philae Temple, High Dam, and Unfinished Obelisk
Enjoy a day tour in Aswan! Our Egypt tour guide will pick you up from your hotel for a fascinating exploration of Aswan. Your adventure begins with a visit to...
High Dam
The Aswan Dam is an impressive engineering marvel completed in 1970. It was built to protect Egypt from the annual floods of the Nile, the longest river in the world.
Unfinished Obelisk
Next, we'll visit the unfinished obelisk, located in the red granite quarry that was used during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. This obelisk was intended to be the largest in ancient Egypt, standing 42 meters tall and weighing 1,200 tons.
Philae Temple
Our journey will continue to Agilkia Island, located between the old and new Aswan Dams, where the beautiful Temple of Philae stands. This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis and is one of the four locations where the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus unfolds.
After the tour, we'll return you to your starting point.
