- Aswan High Dam - The Nile cruise guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor and drive you to Aswan to visit the High Dam, an engineering marvel constructed in the 1960s. From the top of the High Dam, you can view Lake Nasser stretching to the Kalabsha temple in the south and the impressive power station to the north.
- Temple of Philae - Next, you will visit the last of the three renowned Aswan sites, often considered the finest. Philae Temple was meticulously relocated to its current position (approximately 500 meters from the original site) due to the rising Nile waters caused by the High Dam’s construction. A brief motorboat ride will take you to the island, where your guide will lead a walking tour through the temple before giving you free time to explore independently. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple is beautifully situated on a river island, landscaped to resemble its original location.
- Unfinished Obelisk - Proceed to the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan’s granite quarries, the source of much of the red granite used in ancient temples and statues. The Unfinished Obelisk remains where it was carved, abandoned due to a crack discovered during its extraction. Your knowledgeable Egyptologist guide will explain the carving process of the 1-tonne obelisk and the reason it was left incomplete.
- Nubian Village - Finally, you will take a motorboat to enjoy the scenic view of the Nile in Aswan and the Botanical Garden from the outside. You will visit the Nubian village, where the Nubian people live with their unique customs and culture, and admire their vibrant, colorful houses. Afterwards, return by boat to your car for the journey back to Luxor.
