Aswan High Dam

Your Aswan sightseeing begins with a visit to the monumental Aswan High Dam, a pivotal 20th-century engineering project initiated in 1960 and completed in 1970. This colossal structure significantly impacted the Nile River, leading to the creation of Lake Nasser, one of the world’s largest artificial lakes. While its construction brought immense benefits, it also necessitated the relocation of numerous priceless ancient Egyptian temples, fortresses, and chapels, including the world-renowned Abu Simbel Temples, Kalabsha Temple, Amada Temple, and Beit el-Wali, a testament to international efforts in preserving Egyptian heritage.

The Unfinished Obelisk

Next, delve into the secrets of ancient Egyptian stone-cutting at the Unfinished Obelisk. This monumental site reveals the very quarry from where the colossal granite stones were extracted for constructing magnificent Egyptian temples and obelisks, such as the Osireion in Abydos, the Valley Temple in Giza Plateau, and Hatshepsut’s Obelisk in Karnak Temple.

Here, you will gain fascinating insights into the sophisticated techniques ancient Egyptian artisans employed to cut, smooth, and transport these massive stones to distant sites like Luxor.

Philae Temple

Conclude your Aswan day tour with a magical visit to Philae Temple, often hailed as one of the best Greco-Roman temples in Egypt. Enjoy a short, scenic motorboat ride across the Nile to reach the temple’s island port, Agilkia Island.
