About this activity

With your knowledgeable guide, explore the most important historical places in Aswan. See the Aswan High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk, and the Philae Temple Complex.

During this walking tour, you may take a trip around Aswan’s famous sites in a single day with a knowledgeable guide. Aswan, where the River is at its most magnificent, served as ancient Egypt’s southern border. Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel or hostel and drive you to Philae Temple, your first stop. The goddess Isis is honoured in this shrine. It has a number of sanctuaries and shrines that date back thousands of years. The High Dam will be your next stop. With a 132km reservoir capacity, the dam is regarded as the largest embankment dam in the world. You will then proceed to the Unfinished Obelisk from there. It is believed that during the 18th dynasty, the female pharaoh Hatshepsut ordered the construction inside one of the granite stone quarries. It has been there for more than 3,500 years and would have measured roughly 42 metres if it had been chiselled out. You will be dropped off at your hotel or hostel after seeing these famous Pharaonic sites.
