Overview
Itinerary:
This morning, our tour guide will pick you up at the lobby of your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan east bank to start your tour by visiting Philae temple. You will take a short motor boat ride to the Philae temple. The temple was relocated to its current location by UNESCO after the building of the High Dam in order to prevent its inundation. The island was carefully selected to match the original settings on which the temple was originally built. Enjoy free time to explore the beauty of the temple and its surroundings.
Continue to The High Dam, which is an engineering wonder, built in 1960 to save Egypt from the flooding of the Nile. The Dam provides a huge water reservoir known as Lake Nasser, one of the biggest artificial lake in the world. At this landmark, you will see the huge hydro-power stations that provide Egypt with 10 percent of its electricity.
Then, to the Unfinished Obelisk. the largest known ancient obelisk, about 40 meters in length and 1000 tons, located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt, most probably belongs to the famous queen Hatshepsut. End your tour by driving back to your east bank hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan.
