Aswan: Philae Temple, Unfinished Obelisk & High Dam Tour

Discover the Luxor Aswan Philae — an extraordinary adventure designed to bring you the authentic beauty, rich history, and timeless magic of Egypt with expert local guidance.

We will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise or even from the airport in Aswan to enjoy a day tour in the amazing city of Aswan. Start your tour with a visit to the High Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 protecting Egypt from annual floods from the Nile. Then proceed to visit the Unfinished Obelisk, which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. Most probably, this obelisk 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 in the eastern bank of Luxor. Move on to visit the majestic Philae Temple which was built in the honor of Goddess Isis the chief deity of the island. Later you will be transferred back to your hotel.
