Itinerary

• Your Day Tour Coordinator will meet you at your hotel lobby and will introduce you to your Egyptologist in Aswan. Start your day tour of Aswan Philae Temple and Obelisk in private air-conditioned vehicle.
• Firstly, we start our Day tour by visiting Aswan high dam, it is a rockfill dam built across the Nile in Aswan between 1960– 1970. To control the Nile floods, provide water for irrigation and generate hydroelectricity. The High Dam yields enormous benefits to the economy of Egypt. Your guide will tell you the importance of the high dam in Egypt.
• Proceed to visit the unfinished obelisk to see how ancient Egyptians managed to cut pillars out of rocks which offers unusual insights into the ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques. The obelisk was abandoned because of the cracks appeared in the rock. If finished, it would one third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected.
• Continue Your Aswan-Egypt Day tour with a romantic motorboat ride to Philae Temple Island. Where the Philae temples complex was dismantled and relocated to nearby Agilkia Island. It was part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, to protect the Nubian temples before the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1970. Lastly, transfer back to your hotel in Aswan.
