In the morning, our Tour guide will pick you up from your preferred pickup point to start your tour visiting the highlights of Aswan including.
Temple of Philae.
Considered as one of the most beautiful Ptolemaic temples and is located on Agilkia Island. Philae Temple was located before its rescue on Philae Island, which was drowned after the construction of the High Dam. The name Philae means (beloved) in ancient Greek. The temple was dedicated to the worship of the goddess Isis, the protective goddess.
The High Dam.
It was built by the Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser that aimed to control the Nile floods that used to come annually and drown many agricultural lands. The High Dam is considered one of the facilities of great benefit because of the control it achieved in the Nile waters, so that Egypt became an agricultural country with different types throughout the year, and it also protected Egypt from the dangers of flooding.
The unfinished obelisk.
It is located in an ancient quarry used by the Pharaohs to extract very hard flint stones to build giant and strong temples that are not affected by the factors of time. There is the obelisk that was not completed due to some technical defects and the impossibility of its use, and it was intended for Queen Hatshepsut. This obelisk was supposed to be in the Karnak Temple, but it was left as it was, giving us a good idea and telling us that the Egyptian obelisks were cut from a single stone block.
After the tour, We will then take you to the Felucca boat to check in and rest for a while before lunch.
During the Lunch, we will serve you delicious Nubian and Egyptian dishes, including the famous Upper Egyptian tagines, served with rice and pickles.

Abu Simbel Temples
Abu Simbel temple is an archaeological site located on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 290 km southwest of Aswan. It is one of the “Nubian Monuments,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site, extending from the river from Abu Simbel to Philae (near Aswan).
The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountains during the reign of King Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, as a permanent monument to him and Queen Nefertari, commemorating his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. However, in 1960, the entire complex was relocated to an artificial hill made of a dome structure, above the reservoir of the Aswan High Dam.
