Itinerary
At 05:00 AM our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Marsa Alam by air-conditioned vehicle to Aswan, approximately 04:30 hours far from Marsa Alam. Then proceed to Philae Temple which was built to the honor of Goddess Isis, the chief deity of the island.
Then you will be driven to the Unfinished Obelisk which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. Most probably this obelisk belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th Dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. This queen was the owner of her Temple at the eastern bank of Luxor. Also there is an opinion which says that it belongs to Queen Nefertiti.
Lunch at local restaurant and then you will move to the High Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 protecting Egypt from the annual floods of the Nile. Before 6 pm, you will be driven back to your hotel in Marsa Alam

About Marsa Alam
Marsa Alam is a small resort town on Egypt's southern Red Sea coast, known for coral reefs, sea turtles and wild desert behind the shore.
The town lies on the Red Sea coast of Egypt's Eastern Desert, with long reefs just offshore and a thinly populated hinterland of bare mountains and dry valleys. Marsa Alam itself is small, and most visitors stay in resorts spread along the coast road, close to the water. The reefs are the draw, with sheltered bays that slope gently into clear water.
Top-ranked sights in Marsa Alam: Marsa Mubarak, Wadi el Gemal National Park, Sharm El Luli (Ras Hankorab).
