Discover the timeless beauty of Aswan on this private half-day tour. Visit the majestic Philae Temple dedicated to Isis, marvel at the engineering of the High Dam, and explore the ancient Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries. Includes hotel, cruise, or airport pickup and entrance fees.
Your private Egyptologist guide will meet you at your hotel, cruise ship, or Aswan Airport to begin your journey through the serene and storied landscapes of southern Egypt.
Board a small boat to reach Philae Island, where the beautiful Temple of Isis rises gracefully from the Nile. Saved from rising waters by UNESCO, this temple complex boasts exquisite reliefs, columned courtyards, and romantic legends. Your guide will share the story of Isis and Osiris as you wander through this sacred space.
Next, drive to the monumental High Dam of Aswan, a 20th-century marvel of modern engineering. Learn how it transformed Egypt’s economy, tamed the Nile, and created Lake Nasser. From the viewing platform, enjoy panoramic views over the lake and the desert hills beyond.
Step into the ancient quarries of Aswan, where the massive Unfinished Obelisk lies still attached to the bedrock. Had it been completed, it would have been the largest obelisk ever erected. This site gives incredible insight into ancient stone-cutting techniques and pharaonic ambition.
After your tour, your guide will return you to your hotel, cruise, or airport.
