  • Aswan High Dam

    Enjoy hotel pickup from your hotel in Aswan, then set off on your journey with your professional guide who will interesting facts throughout your tour.The Aswan High Dam is a rock-fill embankment dam located in Aswan, Egypt. It was built between 1960 and 1970 and was completed in 1971. The dam is located on the Nile River, just south of the city of Aswan, and it impounds Lake Nasser, which is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. The dam serves several purposes, including providing hydroelectric power, controlling floods, and providing irrigation water for agriculture. The dam also created a reservoir that has been used to generate electricity for over 40 years. The dam has had a significant impact on the environment and economy of Egypt, as well as other countries downstream from it.

  • Unfinished Obelisk

    The Unfinished Obelisk is an ancient Egyptian obelisk located in the northern region of the stone quarries of Aswan, Egypt. It is the largest known ancient obelisk and was most likely intended for placement in the ancient city of Heliopolis. The obelisk was carved from a single piece of granite, but it was abandoned before it could be completed. It is estimated that it would have stood around 42 meters (138 feet) tall if it had been finished. The Unfinished Obelisk provides insight into the techniques used by ancient Egyptian stonemasons to quarry and shape large stones.

  • Temple of Philae

    The Temple of Philae is an ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the island of Philae in Aswan, Egypt. The temple was dedicated to the goddess Isis and was one of the last ancient Egyptian temples to be built. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic period (305–30 BC) and was used until the Roman period (30 BC–395 AD). The temple complex consists of a main temple, two smaller temples, a birth house, and a kiosk. The main temple is surrounded by a large courtyard and features an impressive entrance gate with two towers. Inside the main temple are numerous chambers, including a sanctuary, an offering hall, and several other rooms. The smaller temples are dedicated to Hathor and Horus-Re. The birth house is where Isis gave birth to Horus, while the kiosk is believed to have been used for rituals involving water.

Aswan day tour from Luxor

Published on Mar, 2023

We did a private full day tour from Luxor to Aswan. We visited Edfo temple, the High Dam, and Philae temple. Our guide Hassan was very friendly and knowledgeable, and our driver Hamid was excellent. The inscriptions and sculptures at Philae and Edfo temple were amazing. It represented ancient Egyptian artistic skill at its best. We did have a strict schedule on when we wanted to return back to Luxor and our guide appeased our request. We had lunch at Grand restaurant in Aswan which was very tasty. All in all it was a very enjoyable experience!
