Aswan Sightseeing Tour

In the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan to enjoy a guided tour of the most famous landmarks of Aswan, the heart of Nubia. Your Aswan sightseeing tour will start by paying a visit to:

Philae Temple

Philae Temple is located on the island of Philae, a small island in the middle of the Nile River, located 4 km south of the Aswan reservoir. This island was composed of pink granite rocks. The temple was dedicated to Isis, the goddess of motherhood, magic, and protection, by the Pharaoh Ptolemy II Philadelphus in the 7th century BC.

Lunch Meal

After you visit Philae Temple, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your tour to

The Unfinished Obelisk

The Unfinished Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut (1508-1458 BC) is the largest in the history of mankind, located in the northern part of Aswan. Hatshepsut issued orders to create an obelisk composed of one piece of stone weighing over 1000 tons to be placed in the "Temple of Karnak", but the ancient Egyptian engineers left it after they discovered a crack that prevented its use.

Finally, end your Aswan sightseeing tour by visiting:

Aswan High Dam

Aswan High Dam is the largest and greatest engineering project of the 20th century in terms of architecture and engineering, surpassing other giant global projects. The High Dam was set up to protect Egypt from high floods that destroyed large areas of land leading to the Mediterranean Sea. The height of the dam is 111 meters, and its width at the top is 40 meters. Enjoy your time there and capture these magical moments. Then we will transfer you back to your hotel/cruise in Aswan.
