Itinerary
Enjoy your journey in Aswan and discover the most important landmarks and what makes it so special. after you get picked up from your hotel in Aswan, meet your guide and enjoy the motorboat ride and the special Nile view on your way to explore Philae temple, This beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. The temple of Isis was one of the last ancient Egyptian temples to remain active, as it continued to function until the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I (527–565 AD).
Then you'll head to the second site to dig up and learn more about the story behind the unfinished obelisk, known in the ancient Egyptian language as tekhen. famous for its supply of hard and high-quality stone. Believed to have been commissioned by Hatshepsut (c. 1473–1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak.
Your last stop will be The High Dam. The Dam is 3600 meters long, 980 meters thick at the base, and 111 meters tall. Egypt's modern example of construction on a monumental scale, the controversial Aswan High Dam, 13km south of Aswan, contains 18 times the amount of material used in the Great Pyramid of Khufu and created Lake Nasser, one of the world's largest artificial lakes.
Finally, you will be dropped off at your hotel

Great tour
Great tour was really fun emad was a great tour guide and showed me lots of good stuff
Philae Temple, High Dam, & Unfinished Obelisk
A great tour! Rasha the guide was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the history of Philae Temple, the Aswan High Dam, and the Unfinished Obelisk to life. Everything was well-organized, and even though the tour has a lot of quick stops I never felt rushed. Their passion and friendliness made the entire day enjoyable and engaging. As a solo female I have been cautious about going to ATMs on my own for safety, but when I asked to stop at one on the way back they were happy to! I was also running a bit late (10 minutes) coming into Aswan and it was no problem, they didn’t even mention it! Would recommend!
A great excursion with a knowledgeable guide
Emad was a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide who answered all of our questions. The sites we visited were very interesting and we really enjoyed our half day tour! If we could leave three 5 star reviews we would.
