Upon your arrival at Aswan International Airport, please collect your luggage and proceed to the airport exit gate, where your tour guide will be waiting to welcome you. The guide will be holding a sign displaying your name for easy identification.
Aswan High Dam
30m · Admission ticket included

Proceed to the Aswan High Dam, one of Egypt's greatest modern engineering achievements. Constructed between 1960 and 1970 across the Nile River, the dam was built to control the annual flooding of the Nile, provide a reliable water supply for agriculture, and generate hydroelectric power. Enjoy panoramic views over the vast Lake Nasser, one of the world's largest artificial lakes, while learning about the dam's significant role in Egypt's economic development and modern history.
Philae Timple
1h 30m · Admission ticket included

Enjoy a scenic motorboat ride across the Nile to the beautiful island of Philae, home to the magnificent Temple of Isis, one of Egypt's best-preserved ancient sanctuaries. Originally built during the reign of Pharaoh Nectanebo I (380–362 BC) and later expanded by the Ptolemies and Romans, the temple is renowned for its elegant architecture, impressive colonnades, and fascinating mythology dedicated to the goddess Isis. Explore the temple with your expert guide, discovering its rich history and intricate carvings, before enjoying some free time to stroll the island, take memorable photographs, and admire the peaceful surroundings at your own pace.
Unfinished Obelisk
45m · Admission ticket included

Discover the remarkable Unfinished Obelisk, the largest known ancient obelisk ever attempted. Accompanied by your expert Egyptologist guide, you'll explore the ancient granite quarry where this colossal monument remains partially carved from the bedrock after a crack halted its construction. Learn about the ingenious stone-cutting techniques used by the ancient Egyptians and gain insight into how these massive monuments were created and transported. Walk around the site, examine the visible tool marks, and imagine the sheer scale of what would have been a 42-meter (137-foot), 1,200-ton masterpiece had it been completed.
