Tour Guide & Tour LeaderWelcome to Aswan! Our tour begins when you are greeted by our representative who will assist you at either Aswan airport or Aswan railway station. After you have collected your luggage, he will then take you, in our deluxe vehicle, to your cruise boat: your floating hotel for your next 4 days.
After an onboard lunch, you visit Aswan's High Dam which is modern Egypt's most lauded and yet controversial building project. It begun in 1960 and taking 11 years to complete.
After a short felucca sail, you visit Egypt's ancient center for the cult of Isis, the Temples of Philae. It was saved from a watery grave by UNESCO's rescue project during the building of the Aswan High Dam; the temples were transferred block by block from their original place on Philae Island to Agilika Island.
Finally yet importantly the unfinished obelisk, it is a 41-meter-long and four-meter-wide chunk of stone. It is estimated that if completed, the obelisk would have weighed 1,168 tons and would have been the largest ever hewn.
As the Nile flows gently underneath you, dinner is served.
