Itinerary:
Embark on an enjoyable journey through time as you explore three of Aswan’s most iconic and impressive sites. Your first stop will be the High Dam, which is one of Egypt’s modern and amazing engineering wonders that tamed the Nile and transformed the nation’s agriculture and energy production. You will enjoy panoramic and beautiful views of Lake Nasser, which is one of the world’s largest artificial lakes.
Continue your tour to the dazzling Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. This colossal and magnificent monument, had it been completed, would have been the largest obelisk ever constructed. You will learn more about the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to carve and transport these massive structures — and discover the fascinating and long story of why it was abandoned.
Finally, take an enjoyable motorboat ride across the Nile to the charming Philae Temple, which is a stunning island sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Isis. This long-standing temple, saved from the rising waters of the Nile during the construction of the High Dam, stands as a great testament to both ancient devotion and modern preservation.
After exploring these wonderful sites, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
