Itinerary

Your day begins early with a comfortable air-conditioned drive from Luxor to Aswan, passing through the tranquil desert and riverside landscapes of Upper Egypt.

  • Upon arrival, you'll explore the remarkable Aswan High Dam, a marvel of modern engineering that changed Egypt's destiny by controlling the Nile's flow. Take in panoramic views of Lake Nasser and the surrounding desert from atop the dam.
  • Next, visit the awe-inspiring Unfinished Obelisk, located in the ancient granite quarries. Marvel at the size and precision of what would have been the largest obelisk ever constructed, and learn about the tools and techniques of ancient Egyptian stonemasons.
  • Afterward, embark on a short boat ride to the enchanting Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Set on Agilkia Island, this beautifully preserved temple complex rises from the Nile's blue waters and is famed for its majestic columns and sacred sanctuary.

A traditional Egyptian lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Aswan before you begin the return journey back to Luxor in the afternoon.
