• Unfinished Obelisk - Begin the day tour in Aswan with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship, and proceed to explore one of the most renowned stone artifacts from ancient Egypt, the Unfinished Obelisk. Discover the fascinating history of the largest known obelisk, potentially commissioned by Hatshepsut (circa 1473-1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak, with insights from a local tour guide (optional). 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 during its carving.
• Temple of Philae - Continue the journey 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 deities Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. The Philae temple complex, one of Egypt’s most scenic, features architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines in Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Delve into the grandeur of Egyptian history with a walking tour led by a local Egyptologist guide (optional), followed by free time to explore independently.
• Aswan High Dam - Proceed with a drive to the Aswan High Dam, a significant engineering feat built in the 1960s and one of the largest dams globally. The High Dam plays a crucial role in generating hydroelectric power, regulating the Nile River’s flow to prevent flooding, and supplying water for irrigation. Relish the stunning views of Lake Nasser from the dam’s summit, along with sights of the vast power station to the north and Kalabsha temple to the south.
• Nubian Village - The final stop is a visit to a Nubian Village, offering an opportunity to experience the distinctive culture of the Nubian people. Admire the vibrant colors of the Nubian houses, explore the charming artwork, embrace the traditions and culture, interact with the local residents, and enjoy shopping for handcrafted souvenirs before sailing back along the Nile River. The tour concludes with a return drop-off at your accommodation in Aswan.
