Day 01 :

Upon arrival at Aswan Railway Station, you will be met and transferred by private air-conditioned vehicle to begin your sightseeing tour.

Philae Temple

Located on an island in the Nile, the Temple of Philae is dedicated to the goddess Isis. This magnificent complex brings together monuments from different periods of Egyptian history, including the Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman eras. Visitors are captivated by its elegant colonnades, beautifully decorated chapels, and refined architecture.

Aswan High Dam

The Aswan High Dam, completed in 1970 under the leadership of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, is one of the greatest engineering achievements of modern Egypt. At the time of its construction, it was the largest dam in the world. From the top of the dam, visitors can enjoy spectacular panoramic views over Lake Nasser, one of the largest man-made lakes on Earth.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Visit the ancient granite quarry where the famous Unfinished Obelisk remains in its original location. This enormous monument was intended to stand 41 meters high and weigh approximately 700 tons. A crack discovered during construction forced the ancient Egyptians to abandon the project. Today, the site provides valuable insight into the stone-cutting techniques used by the builders of ancient Egypt.

The scenery of Aswan and the Nile is truly captivating, with granite rocks scattered along the river creating stunning natural landscapes.
