Aswan Day Tour: Philae Temple, High Dam and Felucca Ride – Tour Details
Aswan at its own pace
Aswan is the slowest, greenest stretch of the Egyptian Nile, with granite islands and Nubian villages along the banks. This tour pairs its main sights with time on the water.
Philae Temple
The Temple of Isis, reached by a short motorboat ride to Agilkia Island, where it was rebuilt after the building of the dams.
High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk
The High Dam that created Lake Nasser, and the ancient granite quarry where a giant obelisk still lies where it cracked.
Felucca ride
A traditional sailing boat around Elephantine and Kitchener’s Island in the late afternoon, wind permitting.
