Itinerary
Upon arrival in Aswan, your first stop will be the stunning Philae Temple, situated on Agilkia Island. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple is one of Egypt's most beautiful and is known for its serene location and fascinating history, including its relocation to save it from the rising waters of the Nile.
Next, visit the Aswan High Dam, an impressive modern engineering achievement that controls the Nile's flooding and generates much of Egypt’s electricity. From the dam, take in panoramic views of Lake Nasser, the vast artificial lake created by the dam.
Continue to the ancient granite quarries of Aswan to see the Unfinished Obelisk. This massive, partially carved obelisk provides unique insight into the stone-carving techniques used by ancient Egyptians. Imagine the scale of the project as you walk around this giant monument.
Visit Gharb Soheil, a traditional Nubian village near Aswan, and experience its colorful homes, local crafts, spice markets, and warm hospitality with your guide.

About Aswan
Aswan is Egypt's serene southern city on the Nile, where feluccas glide between granite islands, Nubian villages and palm-fringed riverbanks.
The Nile is at its most beautiful here, broken by granite boulders and green islands. Elephantine Island holds ruins of ancient temples and colourful Nubian villages, Kitchener's Island is covered by a botanical garden, and on the west bank the Tombs of the Nobles are cut into the cliffs of Qubbet el-Hawa, while the domed Mausoleum of the Aga Khan stands on a desert hill further south.
Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
