Discover the highlights of Aswan on a private guided sightseeing tour. Begin your morning with a visit to the Aswan High Dam, an impressive engineering feat built between 1960 and 1970 that transformed Egypt’s economy and culture. Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, the largest ancient obelisk ever constructed, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut and originally intended for Karnak. After a relaxing lunch at a local restaurant, explore the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was carefully relocated to Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign to protect it from the rising waters of the Nile. The tour concludes with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan.
