On this tour, we'll see the greatness of humankind's achievements from across history. As well as visiting the beautiful Philae temple and the Unfinished Obelisk (the largest in the world), we'll admire the Aswan Dam, one of the 20th century's largest engineering projects.
Having picked you up at your hotel or boat, we'll leave the historic centre behind to make our way to the Aswan Dam.
This dam is one of the largest of the 20th century, finished in 1970 and constructed to protect Egypt from the annual flooding of the Nile, the second-largest river in the world.
Our next stop will be the unfinished Obelisk, located in a granite pit from the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. Had it been finished, it would have been the largest obelisk in Ancient Egypt, at 42 metres tall and weighing 1,200 tonnes.
Leaving the quarry behind, the tour makes its way to Agilika island, between the old and new Aswan dam, where the beautiful Philae Temple can be found. This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis, and is one of the four places where the legend of Isis, Osiris and Horus takes place.
Then, with the tour over we'll take you back to the starting point, 5 hours after initial pickup.
This activity includes pickup from hotels, hostels and apartments in the city of Aswan.
However, if your hotel or boat is located at one of the following islands in Aswan, we'll pick you up from the following meeting points:
If your hotel or boat in Aswan isn't in the city centre or any of the islands mentioned, you'll have to head to one of the meeting points indicated.
