Day Tour of Aswan, Philae Temple and Obelisk

Enjoy an unforgettable Aswan Day Tour with The Holiday Escape and discover the beauty, history, and timeless charm of southern Egypt.

Your day begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Aswan by our representative, followed by an exciting sightseeing tour through some of the city’s most remarkable landmarks.

Start your journey with a visit to the High Dam, one of Egypt’s most significant modern engineering achievements. Built in the 1960s, the High Dam was designed to control the annual flooding of the Nile while providing water and electricity for the country. Enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Nasser and the surrounding landscape.

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan. This impressive monument offers a fascinating glimpse into the remarkable stone-working techniques of the ancient Egyptians. The obelisk is traditionally associated with Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most famous rulers of ancient Egypt.

Next, head to the marina and enjoy a scenic motorboat ride to Philae Island, home to the magnificent Temple of Philae, dedicated primarily to the goddess Isis. Explore the beautifully preserved temple complex while learning about its fascinating history. The temple was carefully relocated to its present location to protect it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser following the construction of the High Dam.

After exploring Philae Temple, enjoy a delicious local lunch featuring authentic Egyptian flavors before continuing your day.

At the end of your tour, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to your hotel in Aswan.
