Your adventure kicks off with a visit to the monumental High Dam, a marvel of modern engineering built in 1960. This impressive structure not only safeguards Egypt from the annual floods of the Nile but also plays a crucial role in supplying electricity to the nation.

Next, we whisk you away to the fascinating Unfinished Obelisk at the granite quarries. Here, you’ll get an exclusive glimpse into the ancient techniques used to carve these massive stone monoliths. This particular obelisk, believed to be commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th dynasty, would have been the largest ever completed had it not been abandoned due to a crack. Standing in its presence, you’ll marvel at the grandeur of ancient craftsmanship.

Finally, your tour crescendos with a visit to the ethereal Philae Temple, nestled on the serene Agilika Island. Reached by a scenic motorboat ride, this temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis, the embodiment of motherhood and magic.

After soaking in the majestic beauty of Philae, we will transfer you back to your hotel in Aswan, leaving you with memories to cherish forever.
