Highlights
  • Aswan - Explore the city of Aswan, often referred to as the Land of Gold, celebrated for its tourist attractions, stunning natural scenery, fresh air, and lush green spaces.

Discover Philae Temple, one of Aswan’s most significant temples. The name Philae comes from the Greek word “Villae,” meaning beloved, and in Arabic literature, it is known as “Anas al-wujud” due to its connection with folklore.

Visit the High Dam, a significant water dam on the Nile River that generates electricity for Egypt.

Don’t miss the Unfinished Obelisk, a pink granite obelisk located about 1 km east of the Nile in Aswan. The obelisk stands approximately 41 meters tall, with a base cross-section of 2 by 4 meters, and would have weighed around 1168 tons when completed.
