Itinerary

  • Unfinished Obelisk

    Start your day tour in Aswan by getting picked up from your hotel or cruise ship and drive to tour the marvels of one of the most famous stone objects left from ancient Egypt in Aswan, the Unfinished Obelisk. Learn the story behind the creation of the largest known obelisk, the Unfinished Obelisk believed to be commissioned by Hatshepsut (c. 1473-1458 BC) for the temple of Amun in Karnak. This remarkable Obelisk monument carved of granite stone would have stood about 42 meters (about 137 feet tall) and weighed around 1,200 tons, remains unfinished where it was carved due to a crack discovered in the structure.

    45 minutes

  • Temple of Philae

    Continue your tour to the Nile River and take a short motorboat ride to Agilika Island of the magnificent Philae Temple. Enjoy the scenic views along the Nile of beautiful Aswan. One of the best sites of Aswan, Philae Temple, also known as the Temple of Isis, constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305 BCE to 30 BCE) was dedicated to the Goddess Isis, Osiris, and Horus of ancient Egypt. This beautiful Philae temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt consisting of architectural structures, the main temple, chapels, and shrines of Egyptian and Greco-Roman styles. Learn about the greatness of Egyptian history, your Egyptologist guide will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own.

    2 hours

  • Aswan High Dam

    Next, continue with a drive to the Aswan High Dam. Built in the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam, a major engineering project, is one of the world’s largest dams. The importance of the High Dam is to generate hydroelectric power, control the flow of the Nile River from flooding, and provide water supply for irrigation. Enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Nasser from the top of the High Dam, along with sights of the huge power station to the north and Kalabsha temple to the south.

    35 minutes

  • Nubian Village

    Our final stop takes us to a Nubian Village, where we’ll experience and learn about the unique culture of the Nubian people. Enjoy all the beautiful colors of the Nubian houses, wander amongst the delightful artwork, learn about the traditions and culture, meet the native people in the Village, and spend some time shopping for handcrafted gifts before sailing back along the Nile River. The tour concludes with a drop-off at your accommodation in Aswan.

Excellent City Tour with Karam

Published on Jan, 2025

Karam was very friendly and helpful, organizing a complete city tour reaching all the main remarkable places to visit, an intensive day even during summer time, well organized by Karam. Philae Temple is a must in this itinerary, Elephantine island is very interesting as well. We enjoyed a lot the motorboat journey along the Nile River to get the Nubian Village.

Very nice hard working man

Published on Oct, 2024

Hard working Man. Friendly and outgoing, with a nice comfortable car. Took us around at our request and at no point rushed us, he even helped communicating with merchants; either for bartering or getting them to back off. He also helped us contact people for booking the cruise to Luxor.
