Full Day Aswan
 

Pick up from your hotel in Aswan to enjoy an excursion to visit the world famous High Dam, was an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s, protecting Egypt from annual floods from the Nile. The Dam is 11,811 ft long, 3215 ft thick at the base, 364 ft tall and is carved into from the existing granite, providing irrigation and electricity for the whole of Egypt.

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. Much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from. The Unfinished Obelisk located in the Northern Quarry still lies where it was carved when a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock.

Then proceed to visit the majestic Philae Temple which was built on the honor of goddess Isis the chief deity of the island. Philae was dedicated preeminently to Isis, sister-wife to Osiris, and patroness of the Ptolemaic rule. Although Isis was the major deity honored therein, the location of the island on the frontier between Egypt and Nubia meant that cults of Nubia were also featured on the island, represented by significant cult buildings. This is a private tour allowing you to determine the amount of time spent at each of the sites during the tour. Drive back to your hotel in Aswan.
