Full day trip to Aswan, Philae Temple, High Dam and the Obelisk

See the highlights of Aswan in your Aswan Day Tour. Our daily tours will take you to the High Dam that created Lake Nasser, as well as the Unfinished Obelisk to see how ancient Egyptians cut these huge stone pillars, and finally Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan to visit Aswan's temple, the Temple of Isis at Philae, whose construction started during the reign of Ptolemy II and was completed by the Roman emperors. It was dedicated to the goddess Isis, who was considered the mother of god and the mother of god Horus and the consort of God Osiris. Then, a visit to the High Dam, which is one of the most important achievements of the last century in Egypt. It contains 18 times the material used in the great pyramid of Cheops and it provides Egypt with water and electricity. After that, end the tour with the Aswan Granite Quarries, as Aswan was considered the main granite supplier for all of Egypt. You will find there the famous Unfinished Obelisk, which most probably belonged to Queen Hatshepsut in the 18th dynasty. It measures about 42 meters and is considered the heaviest obelisk ever cut in ancient Egypt. Then, you will be escorted by an air-conditioned vehicle back to your hotel.
