Tour Plan

1. Visit the Aswan High Dam

Start your day with a visit to the iconic Aswan High Dam, built across the Nile between 1960 and 1970. This monumental structure has played a major role in shaping Egypt’s economy and culture.

2. Explore the Unfinished Obelisk

Next, see the Unfinished Obelisk, the largest obelisk ever created in ancient times. Commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC) to complement the Lateran Obelisk, it was later transported to the Lateran Palace in Rome.

3. Lunch in Aswan

Take a break and enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Aswan, recharging for the afternoon’s sightseeing.

4. Visit the Philae Temple

After lunch, explore the stunning Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, goddess of love and beauty. The temple complex was carefully dismantled and relocated to Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign, safeguarding it before the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1970.

5. Return to Hotel or Nile Cruise

Conclude your Aswan sightseeing tour with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel or Nile cruise, completing a memorable day of history and culture. 🚐
