Tour Itinerary

Embark on an enthralling exploration of Aswan’s ancient wonders and modern marvels as our expert Egyptologist guide from On Trip Egypt picks you up from your hotel or Nile cruise and sets you on a journey that begins in the granite quarries at the Unfinished Obelisk—an immense stone that, if completed, would have soared nearly 41 meters tall and weighed around 1,186 tons, offering a rare, tangible glimpse into the sophisticated quarrying techniques and immense ambitions of ancient Egyptian builders, evident in the still-visible tool marks and ochre guidelines on its surface. From this remarkable site, you’ll be whisked away in a private transfer to the Aswan High Dam, a landmark of modern engineering constructed over a decade that spans 3.5 kilometers and towers 111 meters above the Nile, its 12 turbines harnessing the river’s power to generate vital electricity while giving rise to Lake Nasser—the world’s largest man-made reservoir, stretching an astonishing 550 kilometers across Nubian lands, transforming the region’s agricultural and ecological landscape. Your journey culminates with a private ferry ride to Agilkia Island, home to the meticulously relocated Philae Temple complex; this sacred haven, once imperiled by rising waters, now stands as a revived testament to ancient ingenuity, featuring intricately carved sanctuaries dedicated to Isis, Osiris, and Hathor,alongside the elegant Roman-era kiosk of Trajan, all set against the serene backdrop of the Nile that continues to inspire awe and reverence for Egypt’s timeless legacy.
