Additional Information

Though Luxor is home to incredible temples and monuments, history enthusiasts will want to continue down the Nile River to see the sights in Aswan. On this convenient, full-day tour, sit back as you’re whisked in an air-conditioned vehicle from Luxor to Aswan to visit Philae Temple, situated on Agilkia Island. Next, stop at the High Dam, and see the Unfinished Obelisk—a colossal granite structure, still in its ancient quarry.
