Philae Temple, Unfinished Obelisk, and High Dam Day Tour Aswan

Overview

On a guided tour of picturesque Aswan, an expert Egyptologist will lead you through the city's most striking sights. You will travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to the imposing Aswan High Dam, a massive structure constructed in the 1960s to control the annual Nile floods. Along the way you'll also visit the Unfinished Obelisk, an immense, half-carved monument left in its original quarry by ancient stone workers. After the land visits, you'll embark on a boat ride to the island setting of Philae Temple. There you can explore the temple's courts, terraces and chambers devoted to the goddess Isis and learn about the site's history and architecture as you move through its spaces. The tour finishes back in the heart of Aswan, having provided a clear view of both the modern engineering and the ancient heritage that shape the area.
