Itinerary
  • Meet our Egyptologist tour guide at your hotel or your Nile Cruise, who will accompany you in a truly magnificent day tour to visit:
    Philae Temples
    This beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It sits on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam and you must ride a water taxi to the island to get to theruins. The temple was moved to its current location following the construction of the High Dam, which threatened to submerge it permanently.
    The careful reconstruction at the current site carefully completed, painstakingly preserving the original appearance and layout of the complex and even landscaping the island to match its former location.
    The High Dam
    When construction began on the High Dam in 1960, it was the most heralded part of President Gamal Abdel Nasserโ€™s effort to develop Egypt for all Egyptians. While the dam is certainly not the largest in the world, it is an impressive engineering feat nonetheless, over 360 feet tall and 12,500 feet across.
    The dam was completed in 1971 and the huge reservoir behind it, named for President Nasser, finished filling in 1979.
    The Unfinished Obelisk
    The Unfinished Obelisk is a rare opportunity to consider what this process might have been like and just how difficult it was to shape and carve the great stone blocks that make up Egyptโ€™s many monuments.
    This huge obelisk would have stood 140 feet in height, the largest even in Egypt. It was to be carved from the Red Aswan granite that decorate many of Egyptโ€™s greatest monument and for which the city is famous. This greatest of all of Egyptโ€™s monoliths, however, was never finished. At a late stage in its formation, a flaw in the rock was discovered and it was abandoned.
    Botanical Garden
    Located on Kitchenerโ€™s Island, one of two islands in the Nile immediately adjacent to the city-center of Aswan, the Aswan Botanical Gardens offer a beautiful and unique escape from the city. The entirety of the island is landscaped with rare and exotic plants that were planted there by Lord Horatio Kitchener, who was gifted the island for his service as consul general of Egypt under British control.
    Lord Kitchenerโ€™s passion for horticulture was expressed through his conversion of the island given into a garden. The Egyptian government later reclaimed the island and it has been maintained as the Aswan Botanical Gardens.
    The only way to reach the island is by boat, either on one of the public ferries that run between Aswan, Elephantine Island, and Kitchenerโ€™s Island or by hiring a felucca.
    The Nubian Village
    Discover the colorful culture of Nubia, one of Africa's oldest civilizations, traveling by felucca sailboat or modern motorboat, you'll meet locals, visit a traditional house, drink tea, and have free time to explore villages independently.
