Overview

In Aswan, this private excursion brings together three key sites so you can see a range of modern and ancient achievements. You will be picked up from your hotel or Nile cruise in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Your first stop will be the Aswan High Dam, a major 20th-century engineering work. You will then visit the Unfinished Obelisk, where you can learn about ancient Egyptian stone-working and the techniques used by craftsmen. The tour continues with a scenic boat ride to the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, where you can explore temples, inscriptions and stories from Egypt’s mythology and history. The experience includes all transfers, bottled water and the expertise of a qualified guide, who will provide context and answer questions as you move through each site. Along the way, expect a mix of historical insight and comfortable travel between locations, with opportunities to take photos and ask about what you see.
