Itinerary

  • Aswan High Dam

    Start your day tour in Aswan by getting picked up from your hotel or cruise ship and drive to the High Dam of Aswan, an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s. From the top of the High Dam you can gaze across Lake Nasser to the Kalabsha temple in the south and the huge power station to the north.

    1 hour

  • Unfinished Obelisk

    Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, where much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from. The Unfinished Obelisk still lies where it was carved when a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain how the 1 tonne obelisk was carved, and why the crack caused it to be abandoned.

    45 minutes

  • Temple of Philae

    The last of the 3 famous Aswan sites you will see is generally regarded as the best. Philae Temple was carefully moved to its current location (around 500 meters from the original site) when the construction of the High Dam caused surrounding Nile waters to rise. A short motorboat ride takes you to the island, where your guide will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple has a beautiful setting on an island in the river which has been landscaped to match its original site.

    2 hours

  • Aswan (Pass By)

    After finishing your tour, you'll be dropped off your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan.

Amazing Tour and Experience

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an exceptional experience visiting all three locations. Our tour guide (Aida) was really great and very helpful. She is very knowledgeable of the history of each location and also shared some really important tips for our travel from Aswan to Luxor after the tour was finished. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in several of the highlights while visiting Aswan.

Good experience

Published on Dec, 2023

Tour guide Elia is a very friendly and good guide. We enjoyed our time. He did not pressure us to give tips unlike other guides.

Great Tour With The Tour Guide!

Published on Apr, 2023

Aida George was my tour guide for this tour. She was very knowledgeable and well versed. I had a wonderful time! Thank you for making my trip to Egypt very very memorable! So worth it!

Diverse and interesting half day tour

Published on Mar, 2023

Three very different parts to the tour. Temple of Philae is magnificent, the unfinished obelisk was really interesting and the dam and the impact on the local community was fascinating. Michael was a great host -knowledgeable, articulate and he took a lot of stress out of the ticket purchases and boat hire. Would highly recommend

Fantastic tour

Published on Mar, 2023

The dam and the temple, the tour of the temple was educational. Understanding the importance of the Nile river for the country was interesting
