• Unfinished Obelisk - Begin the day tour in Aswan with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship, and head to explore the wonders of one of the most renowned stone artifacts from ancient Egypt, the Unfinished Obelisk. Discover the fascinating story of the largest known obelisk, believed to be commissioned by Hatshepsut (c. 1473-1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak, with insights from an independent tour guide at the site (*optional, separate cost). This extraordinary granite monument, intended to stand approximately 42 meters (about 137 feet) tall and weigh around 1,200 tons, remains incomplete due to a crack found in the structure during its carving.
• Temple of Philae - Proceed with a motorboat ride to the stunning Philae Temple, enjoying the picturesque views along the Nile in Aswan. Known as the Temple of Isis, this site, constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305 BCE to 30 BCE), was dedicated to the Goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. The Philae temple complex is one of Egypt’s most scenic, featuring architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines in Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Delve into 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 personal exploration.
• Aswan High Dam - Continue the journey with a drive to the Aswan High Dam. Constructed in the 1960s, this significant engineering feat is one of the world’s largest dams. The High Dam plays a crucial role in generating hydroelectric power, controlling the Nile River’s flow to prevent flooding, and supplying water for irrigation. Relish 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. Enjoy the vibrant colors of the Nubian houses, explore the charming artwork, immerse in the local culture at your own pace, and take the opportunity to shop for handcrafted souvenirs and gifts. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation in Aswan.
