Aswan High Dam, Aswan, Egypt 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. 60 minutes
Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan, Egypt 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 ton obelisk was carved, and why the crack caused it to be abandoned. 45 minutes
Temple of Philae, Aswan, Egypt 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.

This tour is fantastic, especially with Asmaa as our guide. At a relaxed pace, we visited the Unfinished Obelisk, the High Dam, and the Philae Temple. Asmaa answered all of our questions, gave good information, and allowed us free time to wander and take photos. I highly recommend this private tour.

Overall the tour was ok, it was done within 4 hours as he went really fast through out the areas . High Dam is not really something to crave about as you have to pay 100 EGP just to see a dam. But for the price you pay , this is what you get . If you have short time go visit the Nubian Village and the just the Philae Temple.
