Itinerary and highlights
Our expert tour guide will pick you up from Hotel / Nile Cruise on time, by air-conditioned car. In the way your guide will give you general information about your day tour, start by visiting the High Dam; an epic engineering accomplishment achieved between 1960 and 1970. It was largely financed and supervised by the Soviet Union.
Proceed to visit the magnificent Greco Roman Temple of the goddess Isis; the chief deity of the island using a small motorboat to get there
Then, to the unfinished Obelisk, about 40 meters in length and 1000 tons, which is considered to be the longest and the heaviest obelisk ever cut in Egypt, most probably belongs to the famous queen Hatshepsut. Then, drive back to your hotel in Aswan.
