Itinerary and highlights
We will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan and then you will enjoy a day tour in the amazing city of Aswan. Start your tour by a visit to the High Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 to protect Egypt from the annual floods of the Nile.
Then proceed to visit the Unfinished Obelisk which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. Most probably this obelisk belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th Dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. This queen was the owner of her Temple at the eastern bank of Luxor. Also, there is an opinion that says that it belongs to Queen Nefertiti.
Move on and visit the majestic Philae Temple which was built to honor Goddess Isis, the chief deity of the island. Later you will be transferred back to your hotel.
