About this activity
Visit: High Dam, Aswan Egypt

Your tour begins with a walk across the High Dam, which was constructed between 1960 and 1970 to separate Lake Nasser from the Nile River. Hear why this powerful embankment dam became a key objective of the Egyptian government in 1952, mainly to control the floods that used to happen every year during late summer

Duration: 2 hours

Visit: Temple of Philae, Island of Agilika, Aswan Egypt

Visit this ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Isis. Stroll through its vast site, occupying about a quarter of the island, and explore its many other treasures, including the first Chapel of Isis, the Chapel of Osiris, and the Temple of Horus

Duration: 2 hours

Visit: Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan Egypt

Your tour ends with a visit to a quarry holding the largest known ancient obelisk—if completed, it would have measured 137 feet (42 meters) tall. It remains unknown which pharaoh ordered its construction, but it lies unfinished and is a third taller than any complete obelisk to this day.

Duration: 2 hours
