• Unfinished Obelisk - Begin the day tour in Aswan with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship, and proceed to explore the wonders of one of the most renowned stone artifacts from ancient Egypt, the Unfinished Obelisk. Discover the fascinating story behind the creation of the largest known obelisk from an independent tour guide at the site (*optional, separate cost). The Unfinished Obelisk, believed to have been commissioned by Hatshepsut (c. 1473-1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak, is a remarkable monument carved from granite. It would have stood approximately 42 meters (about 137 feet) tall and weighed around 1,200 tons, but remains unfinished due to a crack discovered in the structure.
• Temple of Philae - Continue the tour to the magnificent Philae Temple, enjoying the scenic views along the Nile in beautiful Aswan. Philae Temple, also known as the Temple of Isis, is one of Aswan’s finest sites. Constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305 BCE to 30 BCE), it was dedicated to the Goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. This stunning temple complex is one of the most picturesque in Egypt, featuring architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines in Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Learn about the grandeur of Egyptian history with an independent tour guide at the site (*optional, separate cost), who will lead a walking tour through the temple before allowing free time for further exploration.
• Aswan High Dam - Next, proceed with a drive to the Aswan High Dam. Constructed in the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam is a major engineering feat and one of the world’s largest dams. Its significance lies in generating hydroelectric power, controlling the Nile River’s flow to prevent flooding, and providing water for irrigation. Enjoy the stunning views of Lake Nasser from the top of the High Dam, along with sights of the massive power station to the north and Kalabsha temple to the south.
• Nubian Village - The final stop is a visit to a Nubian Village, where the unique culture of the Nubian people can be experienced. Delight in the vibrant colors of the Nubian houses, explore the charming artwork, and immerse yourself in the local culture at your own pace. Spend some time shopping for handcrafted souvenirs and gifts. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation in Aswan.
