- Temple of Philae - Delight in your visit to Aswan by exploring its most significant landmarks and discovering what makes them unique. After being picked up from your hotel in Aswan, meet your guide and enjoy a motorboat ride with a stunning view of the Nile as you head to explore the Philae Temple. This exquisite temple complex is among the most scenic in all of Egypt. The Temple of Isis was one of the last ancient Egyptian temples to remain in use, continuing its function until the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527–565 AD).
- Unfinished Obelisk - Next, proceed to the second site to uncover and learn about the story behind the Unfinished Obelisk, known in ancient Egyptian as tekhen. Renowned for its supply of hard and high-quality stone, it is believed to have been commissioned by Hatshepsut (c. 1473–1458 BC) for the Temple of Amun in Karnak.
-
Aswan High Dam - Your final stop will be the High Dam. The dam measures 3600 meters in length, 980 meters in thickness at the base, and 111 meters in height. As Egypt’s modern example of monumental construction, the controversial Aswan High Dam, located 13km south of Aswan, contains 18 times the material used in the Great Pyramid of Khufu and created Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest artificial lakes.
Finally, you will be returned to your hotel.
