Additional Information

Relish Your Day Trip in Aswan

A guide from Bastet tours will collect you from your Aswan hotel to explore the remarkable city of Aswan for a day. Kick off your expedition with a trip to the High Dam, which is a marvel of engineering constructed in 1960 to shield Egypt from the yearly floods of the Nile. Carry on to the Unfinished Obelisk that showcases the methods employed by the ancient Egyptians for hewing obelisks. This obelisk is most likely the property of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the monarchs of the 18th Dynasty and the spouse of King Tuthmosis II. This sovereign was famously associated with her Temple on the eastern shore of Luxor. There is also a theory that it belongs to Queen Nefertiti. Continue to the awe-inspiring Philae Temple, erected in the honor of Goddess Isis, the primary deity of the island. Afterward, we will escort you back to your lodging.

100% recommend this tour - We arranged the tour a few days before our trip to Aswan as we realised we had a free day after our cruise. I contacted the team at Bastet Tours who were prompt in their replies. On the day itself the driver and our tour guide Maher were right on time. Maher has been our best tour guide to date in Egypt. He's very knowledgeable about Egypts' ancient history and especially about Nubian history. You can tell Maher had a genuine interest in all of this and his passion for the subject came across. His English is excellent and very easy to understand. Maher has gone above and beyond helping us after the tour and I'd 100% recommend booking this tour!
