  • 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.

  • 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

What can I say Zac was one of the best guides we have had in our entire trip thus far. His education, passion and enthusiasm were just incredible and made the entire visit so incredibly memorable! We also appreciated that he asked us if we were interested in shopping as opposed to just taking us to a shop. He was amazing and if you book this tour, you must ask for Zac! He was the best !!!

Le temple de Philae est absolument magnifique. La visite du haut barrage n'est pas très intéressante.

Great tour. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Would definitely recommend this private tour. Would make sure to request a boat with life jackets onboard though. Ours didn’t have any visible, which was a little concerning.
