In the early morning, a private air-conditioned car will collect you from your hotel in Cairo and transfer you to Cairo Airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival in Aswan, you will meet your tour guide to begin your journey by exploring popular tourist attractions in Aswan, including:
The High Dam
The remarkable High Dam of Aswan, an outstanding feat of engineering, was built in the mid-1960s. It facilitated electricity generation and controlled floodwaters by creating the artificial Lake Nasser.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The remarkable Unfinished Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC) is an extraordinary architectural marvel, weighing as much as 200 African elephants and standing 41.75 meters (137.0 ft) tall. It is among the world’s most impressive open-air museums, showcasing the exceptional stone carving techniques of the ancient Egyptians.
Lunch Time
Savor a delightful lunch at a restaurant in Aswan, followed by further exploration of:
Philae Temple
Philae Temple, one of the most well-preserved archaeological sites from Egypt's Ptolemaic era (332-30 BC), is renowned as the eternal sanctuary of Isis, the goddess of motherhood, wife of the ruler of the Underworld, and mother of Horus, the god of kingship and victory. The temple was originally constructed by King Nectanebo I between 380 and 362 BC and later expanded by Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285–246 BC). It is currently situated on Agilkia Island.
