Day 01

Aswan High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple

Pick up by an Aswan tour guide from your hotel, Nile cruise, or the airport in Aswan to enjoy a day tour in this amazing city.

Visit the Aswan High Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 that protects Egypt from the annual floods of the Nile.
Go to see the Unfinished Obelisk, which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. It most probably belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th Dynasty and the royal wife of King Tuthmosis II. This queen was the owner of her temple on the eastern bank of Luxor. There is also an opinion that says it belongs to Queen Nefertiti.
Explore the majestic Philae Temple, which was built in honour of Goddess Isis, the chief deity of the island.
