Overview

You will visit three of Aswan’s most notable sites: the Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk and the High Dam. At Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, you will see finely carved reliefs and other ornate decorations set against a scenic island setting. The temple’s art and location will give a clear sense of ancient Egyptian spirituality and aesthetics. You will also view the Unfinished Obelisk, an archaeological site that showcases the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian stonemasons. Alongside that, the High Dam will illustrate modern engineering in Aswan, revealing how the river was brought under control. Together these sites will offer a compact picture of Aswan’s past and more recent achievements, from ancient religious architecture to large-scale engineering.
