During the tour, you will visit Philae Temple, one of the main temples in Aswan. The temple was dedicated mainly to Isis and dates mostly to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, especially from the 4th century BC to the Roman period, although the island of Philae was an important religious site in earlier periods. The temple was relocated to Agilkia Island between 1972 and 1980 during the Nubian monuments rescue project after the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
You will also visit the Unfinished Obelisk, one of the most important ancient granite quarry sites in Egypt. The obelisk is usually connected with Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC and shows how ancient Egyptians worked with granite before separating large monuments from the bedrock. If completed, it would have measured about 42 meters / 138 feet long and weighed around 1,200 tons.
The tour also includes the Aswan High Dam, one of the major modern projects in Egypt. The dam was built between 1960 and 1970 and played an important role in controlling Nile floods, generating hydroelectric power, and creating Lake Nasser. The dam is about 3,830 meters / 12,565 feet long, and Lake Nasser extends for about 500 km / 310 miles southward between Egypt and Sudan.
You will also enjoy a sunset felucca ride on the Nile River Valley in Aswan. A felucca is a traditional sailing boat used on the Nile, and this ride gives you time to see the river, islands, riverbanks, and sunset views in Aswan after completing the main sightseeing visits. The Nile River is about 6,650 km / 4,130 miles long and was central to ancient Egyptian agriculture, transport, trade, and daily life.
These sites are among the main Aswan Attractions for travelers visiting southern Egypt. They give clear context about ancient temples, granite quarrying, Nile engineering, traditional sailing, and the connection between ancient and modern history in Aswan.
