- Unfinished Obelisk - Begin the day tour in Aswan with a convenient pick-up from the hotel or cruise ship, and proceed to explore one of the most renowned stone artifacts from ancient Egypt, the Unfinished Obelisk. Discover the fascinating history of the largest known obelisk with insights from an independent tour guide at the site (*optional, additional cost). The Unfinished Obelisk, believed to have been commissioned by Hatshepsut (circa 1473-1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak, is a remarkable granite monument that would have stood approximately 42 meters (about 137 feet) tall and weighed around 1,200 tons. It remains incomplete due to a crack found in the structure during its carving.
- Temple of Philae - Proceed with the tour by taking a motorboat to the stunning Philae Temple. Relish the scenic views along the Nile in the beautiful Aswan region. Philae Temple, also known as the Temple of Isis, is one of Aswan’s top attractions. Constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305 BCE to 30 BCE), it was dedicated to the Goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. This exquisite temple complex is among the most picturesque in Egypt, featuring architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines in Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Gain insights into the grandeur of Egyptian history with an independent tour guide at the site (*optional, additional cost), who will lead a walking tour through the temple before allowing free time for further exploration.
- Aswan High Dam - Continue the journey with a drive to the Aswan High Dam. Constructed in the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam is a significant engineering feat and ranks among the world’s largest dams. Its primary functions include generating hydroelectric power, controlling the Nile River’s flow to prevent flooding, and supplying water for irrigation. Enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Nasser from the top of the High Dam, along with sights of the massive power station to the north and Kalabsha temple to the south.
