Explore Aswan Highlights

Your journey begins with a pick-up from your Aswan hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. You’ll have an experienced guide who will accompany you throughout the day, offering in-depth commentary about the history and significance of the sites you’ll visit.

 

The first stop on your tour is the spectacular Philae Temple, located on an island in Lake Nasser. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae was once a major pilgrimage site. This stunning temple complex is renowned for its beautifully preserved reliefs and inscriptions, showcasing ancient Egyptian mythology and religious practices. The temple was moved to its current location during the construction of the Aswan High Dam to protect it from flooding. During your visit, you’ll explore the hypostyle hall, sanctuary, and the famous obelisk that was once part of the original temple complex. The island’s tranquil surroundings add to the beauty of this sacred site.

 

Next, you’ll head to the Unfinished Obelisk, one of Aswan’s most fascinating attractions. This giant obelisk was abandoned mid-construction due to cracks in the stone. It is an excellent example of ancient Egyptian quarrying techniques and gives visitors insight into how massive obelisks were carved and transported. The Unfinished Obelisk is an impressive sight, standing at nearly 42 meters long and weighing about 1,200 tons. The site also offers a chance to learn about the tools and methods used by ancient Egyptians to create such monumental structures.

 

The Aswan High Dam is an impressive feat of modern engineering and one of Egypt’s most significant construction projects. Built to control the Nile River’s flooding and generate hydroelectric power, the dam has been crucial to Egypt’s development. From the dam, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Lake Nasser and the surrounding desert, making this stop a perfect opportunity for photos. Your guide will explain the dam’s construction, its impact on Egypt’s agriculture, and its role in transforming the region.

 

After exploring the historical sites, you’ll be treated to a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. You’ll have the chance to enjoy a variety of traditional Egyptian dishes, such as koshari, molokhia, and grilled meats, while experiencing the authentic flavors of Egypt. This lunch stop allows you to rest and recharge before continuing with the rest of the tour.

 

After lunch, you’ll be driven back to your Aswan hotel. This tour gives you a comprehensive look at both ancient and modern Egypt, from the temples of the Pharaohs to the monumental Aswan High Dam, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this magnificent city.
