Private Tour to visit the Highlights of Aswan - Code PASW11

Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or Nile Cruise at 8:00 am. Your knowledgeable guide will lead you through the highlights of Aswan.
 
First, marvel at the Aswan High Dam, a testament to human ingenuity built in 1960 to safeguard Egypt from the Nile's annual floods.
 
Next, journey to Aswan's Granite Quarries, the historical source of granite for all of Egypt. Here, you'll encounter the renowned Unfinished Obelisk, believed to have been intended for Queen Hatshepsut. Uncover the ancient Egyptian techniques employed in the meticulous craft of obelisk construction.
 
Enjoy a scenic motorboat ride to the majestic Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Originally situated near the First Cataract of the Nile in Upper Egypt, the temple complex faced repeated flooding following the construction of the Aswan Low Dam in 1902. As part of UNESCO's Nubia Campaign, the temple was meticulously dismantled and relocated to nearby Agilkia Island.
 
After this captivating tour, you will be comfortably returned to your hotel.
