Itinerary

Day1

Aswan High Dam Philae Temple Unfinished Obelisk

Your Egyptologist guide meets you at your Aswan hotel in the morning, and you set off by private air-conditioned car to Aswan. This High Dam tour Aswan is a convenient start to your Aswan day tour Philae Temple High Dam.

From the top, you look out over Lake Nasser on one side and the Nile on the other, while your guide explains how the 1960s project ended the river's annual floods. Next is the ancient granite quarry that supplied stone for temples and obelisks across Egypt. Here, the Unfinished Obelisk tour Aswan still lies half-carved in the bedrock, making this an interesting Unfinished Obelisk tour Aswan experience.

A short motorboat ride then takes you to Agilkia Island to walk through Philae Temple: the courts, the sanctuary of Isis, and the Mammisi of Horus. This Philae Temple tour in Aswan is a memorable part of your private Aswan day tour. Afterward, your driver returns you to your hotel or to Aswan airport, completing your Aswan sightseeing tour as one of our Egypt Day Tours.

Inclusions/Exclusions

Inclusions
  • Private pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Aswan  ; your driver waits for you, not the other way around

  • Experienced Egyptologist guide with you throughout the tour, dedicated to your group only

  • Entrance fees to all three sites the Aswan High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and Philae Temple,  so there's nothing to pay at the gates

  • Free mineral water and soft drinks during the tour

  • All taxes and service charges ; the price you see is the price you pay

Exclusions
  • Tips and gratuities for guides and drivers

  • Extra tours or activities not listed in this program

Notes

  • Seasonal rates: Tour rates change during Christmas, New Year, and Easter periods in Egypt. If your travel dates fall around these holidays, confirm the price with us when you book.
  • Walking and physical effort: Expect easy to moderate walking. The quarry site of the Unfinished Obelisk involves some uneven ground and steps, and Philae Temple is reached by a short motorboat ride with a step on and off the boat. The High Dam visit is mostly viewing platforms with minimal walking.
  • Sun and heat: All three sites are largely open-air with little shade, and Aswan is one of Egypt's hottest cities. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes; tours start in the morning to make the most of the cooler hours.
  • Dress code: There is no strict dress code at these sites  Philae is an ancient temple, not an active place of worship. Light, modest clothing that covers the shoulders works best for both comfort and sun protection.
  • Itinerary order:  The order of visits may be adjusted on the day to avoid crowds or suit boat timings, but all three sites are always included.
