Itinerary and highlights

As per your request time pick you up from your hotel/airport by our tour guide then start driving about 240 km to Aswan. Arrive in Aswan and begin your trip by visiting The Aswan High Dam, which is the world's largest embankment dam, which was built across the Nile in Aswan, Egypt, between 1960 and 1970. Its significance largely eclipsed the previous Aswan Low Dam initially completed in 1902 downstream.

Then visit Philae temple, the oldest temple to have undoubtedly stood on the island, as well as the first evidence of Isis worship there, was a small kiosk built by Psamtik II of the 26th Dynasty. This was followed by contributions from Amasis II (26th Dynasty) and Nectanebo I (30th Dynasty). Of these early buildings, only two elements built by Nectanebo I survive– a kiosk that was originally the vestibule of the old Isis temple, and a gateway that was later incorporated into the first pylon of the current temple. Lunch at one of the Egyptian restaurants.

Then end the tour by visiting the unfinished obelisk. Its creation was ordered by Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC). The unfinished obelisk is nearly one-third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. If finished it would have measured around 42 meters (138 ft) and would have weighed nearly 1,090 tonnes (1,200 short tons), a weight equal to about 200 African elephants. At the end of the tour drive you back to Luxor hotel/airport or train station.
