Our Egyptologist guide will accompany you to an excursion where you will enjoy Philae Temple was carefully moved to its current location (around 500 meters from the original site) when the construction of the High Dam caused surrounding Nile waters to rise. A short motorboat ride takes you to the island, where your guide will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple has a beautiful setting on an island in the river which has been landscaped to match its original site.

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, where much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from. The Unfinished Obelisk still lies where it was carved when a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain how the 1 ton obelisk was carved, and why the crack caused it to be abandoned.

It's an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s. From the top of the High Dam you can gaze across Lake Nasser to the Kalabsha temple in the south and the huge power station to the north.

Discover the grand Abu Simbel temples, which were, built by King Ramses II, during this full-day private tour from Aswan. Head south, towards the Sudanese border, to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and learn about the lives of the ancient pharaohs. After getting background knowledge from your Egyptologist guide, enjoy ample time to explore the temples on your own, before heading back to Aswan.
