  • Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan, Egypt
    Start your Aswan tour through transferring to visit the unfinished obelisk, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh (1490–1468 BC). The unfinished obelisk gives an excellent idea about the mason work techniques in ancient Egypt. If finished it would have been the largest and heaviest obelisk ever attempted, measuring around 42 metres and weighing nearly 1,200 tons.
    45 minutes
  • Aswan High Dam, Aswan, Egypt
    Move on to visit the high dam, a rock fill dam built across the Nile in Aswan, between 1960 and 1970. The dam is a marvel of modern engineering that boasts some truly epic dimensions. It is almost 4000 meters long, 980 meters wide at its base, 40 m wide at the crest and 111 meters high. With the aim to regulate the Nile flood to store the water for agriculture and to generate hydro-electric power. Enjoy a short motor boat ride to Philae Temple complex, originally situated on the island of Philae.
    30 minutes
  • Temple of Philae, Aswan, Egypt
    The temple complex was dismantled and transferred to the nearby island of Agilika after the construction of the Aswan High Dam to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. The UNESCO and the Egyptian authorities organized a massive operation (1972–80) to relocate the complex on nearby Aglika Island, which was landscaped to match the original site. Explore the three principal monuments on the island all date from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, the Kiosk of Trajan, the Temple of Hathor and the Temple of Isis, then enjoy free time at leisure. After finished, you will then be transferred back to your hotel in Aswan

Es un tour muy bonito,pero para realizar pronto. Lo hicimos muy tarde, porque nuestro vuelo llegaba a esa hora y hacía muchísimo calor. Pero dentro de lo que cabe estuvo muy bien, fue privado para mi pareja y yo y el guía estupendo

The guide constantly looked for shades / rest area throughout the whole day, which made us feel like we are slowing him down. He also constantly tried to sell us other tours even though we told him we’ve already booked other tours with other companies. He also asked us to tip the boat captain when we were coming out of Philae temple, saying he’s asked the guy to wait just for us. Overall, annoying experience.
