Day Tour of Aswan: Discover the Wonders of Ancient Egypt

Experience the highlights of Aswan on your Day Tour of Aswan with Imperial Egypt Tours. Our daily tours will take you to the High Dam, which created Lake Nasser, as well as the Unfinished Obelisk to see how ancient Egyptians cut these massive stone pillars, and finally the Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis.

Our tour guide from Imperial Egypt Tours will pick you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan to visit the Temple of Isis at Philae. This temple’s construction began during the reign of Ptolemy II and was completed by the Roman emperors. It is dedicated to the goddess Isis, who was revered as the mother of Horus and the consort of Osiris.

Next, we’ll visit the High Dam, one of the most significant achievements of the last century in Egypt. It contains 18 times the material used in the Great Pyramid of Cheops and provides Egypt with water and electricity.

Conclude your tour with a visit to the Aswan Granite Quarries, where you’ll learn that Aswan was the primary granite supplier for all of Egypt. Here, you will see the famous Unfinished Obelisk, likely belonging to Queen Hatshepsut from the 18th dynasty, measuring about 42 meters—making it the heaviest obelisk ever cut in ancient Egypt. Afterward, you will be escorted back to your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Explore the beauty and history of Aswan with our Day Tour Packages and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt.
