Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan to begin your city tour. First, visit the High Dam — a monumental project built in the 1960s to control the Nile’s flooding and generate hydroelectric power.
Next, explore the Unfinished Obelisk in the ancient granite quarries. Likely commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, this massive monument reveals the techniques used by ancient Egyptians to carve obelisks. Some scholars suggest it may have been for Queen Nefertiti.
Continue to Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, where graceful columns, intricate carvings, and its island setting make it one of Egypt’s most beautiful temples. After your visit, return to your hotel in Aswan.
