Morning time, we will pick you up from your hotel to start your tour by exploring some of the most famous Aswan tourist attractions with your private tour guide, starting with:
Aswan High Dam
The divine Aswan High Dam was constructed between the 60s and 70s to offer a positive impact on the economy and culture of the great country of Egypt, ushering it into the industrial age.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The magical Unfinished Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC) remains one of the greatest construction projects in Egypt that never came to be. It was meant to stand at the grand entrance of the Karnak temples complex but was unfortunately cracked during construction. It now serves as the finest architectural open-air museum in Egypt.
Philae Temple
The illuminating Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis of motherhood, tells a story of divine stone that has stood the test of time to showcase the "Myth of Osiris." Built in 280 BC by King Ptolemy II, it was relocated to Agilkia Island between the 60s and 70s as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project.
After that, we will transfer you to check-in at a 5-star Nile Cruise to enjoy your lunch and dinner and spend the rest of the day relaxing onboard.

The temple is an extraordinary example of Ptolemaic architecture, showcasing intricate decorations, carvings, and insights into medical and astronomical advancements of the era.

Hatshepsut Temple: The mythical, graceful, and blessed mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1507–1458 BC) is a divine masterpiece of artistic architecture that became known as the holy of the holies.
