Enjoy the Aswan Day Tour! Our Egypt tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan to enjoy a day tour of the beautiful city of Aswan. Start your time with a visit...
High Dam
The Aswan Dam is a massive construction dating back to the 20th century, completed in 1970 and built to save Egypt from the annual floods caused by the Nile, the longest river in the world.
Unfinished obelisk
Our next stop will be the unfinished obelisk, located in the red granite quarry that was exploited during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. This obelisk was designed to be the largest in ancient Egypt, with a height of 42 meters and a weight of 1,200 tons.
Philae Temple
You will go to the island of Agilkia, between the old and new Aswan Dam, where the beautiful Temple of Philae is located. This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis and is one of the four places where the myth of Isis, Osiris, and Horus revolves.
After the tour, we will take you back to the starting point.
