Philae Temple, Aswan Dam & Unfinished Obelisk Day Trip from Aswan

Itinerary

✅After your breakfast at the hotel or on one of the cruise ships in Aswan, we will first pick you up to our first stop, the world famous Aswan Dam (High Dam). This was at its construction time in the 1960s, a miracle of the then building technology. It was required for its construction 18 times the material that was used to build the Great Pyramid of Cheops.

 ✅We know about the world-famous obelisks from the time of the Pharaohs. Unfortunately, one of them broke up during the manufacturing process and has since been left as an unfinished obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, our second stop on the tour. Most of the hard rock from which the pyramids and temples were built was taken from the granite quarries of Aswan.

✅With a motorboat, we drive you to the nearby temple of the goddess Isis, the Philae temple (Egypt) on the island of Agilika.

✅Finally, a felucca ride on the Nile will take you to a pleasant end to the cruise before we return to the hotel or cruise ship.

✅In the evening, have some free time available? We are happy to take you to the evening Sound & Light Show in Philae Temple.
