Full Day Philae Temple Unfinished Obelisk and High Dam in Aswan

This guided tour of Aswan takes you through some of the city’s most important sites with an expert Egyptologist. You will travel in an air-conditioned vehicle to the Aswan High Dam, where you can take in impressive views of the 1960s structure built to control the Nile’s floods. Along the way you will visit the Unfinished Obelisk in its ancient quarry — a huge, incomplete monument that reveals how monumental stonework was planned and carved. A short boat journey will bring you to Philae Temple, set on a picturesque island. As you move through its courts, terraces and inner chambers, your guide will explain the temple’s architecture and its dedication to the goddess Isis. The experience ends with a return to Aswan, having explored both modern and ancient engineering, and the religious and cultural history reflected in these iconic sites.
