Tour Overview

Discover the ancient heritage and modern achievements of southern Egypt on a private Aswan Highlights Day Tour. This carefully designed excursion introduces you to three of the city's most important landmarks: the beautiful Philae Temple, the fascinating Unfinished Obelisk and the impressive Aswan High Dam. Accompanied by a professional private Egyptologist, you will explore the history of Aswan from ancient times to the modern era while traveling comfortably in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Begin with Philae Temple, a remarkable sanctuary dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis and beautifully reconstructed on Agilkia Island after the original site was threatened by the rising waters of Lake Nasser. Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan's ancient granite quarries, where you can see how ancient craftsmen worked enormous blocks of stone. Finally, visit the Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt's most significant modern engineering projects.
