Day by Day Itinerary

Our professional guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan by private air-conditioned vehicle to begin your full-day tour.

Start your day with a visit to one of Egypt’s greatest modern engineering achievements. Learn how the High Dam controls the Nile floods, supports agriculture, and generates hydroelectric power for the country. Enjoy panoramic views of Lake Nasser.

Next, take a private motorboat ride to the island temple of Philae. Dedicated to Isis, this magnificent temple was relocated by UNESCO to save it from flooding. Admire the elegant columns, carvings, and peaceful island surroundings.

Continue to the Northern Quarry to see the enormous unfinished obelisk, believed to date from ancient Egypt. Learn how the ancient Egyptians shaped granite monuments and why this massive obelisk was never completed.
