What To Excpect
- The High Dam of Aswan is an incredible engineering feat constructed in the 1960s. The dam offers a stunning view of Lake Nasser, the Kalabsha Temple to the south, and a large power station to the north.
- Visitors can explore the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, where much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi originated. Carved from the rock, the 1-tonne obelisk was abandoned due to a discovered crack, and qualified Egyptologist guides are available to explain the carving process and the reasons for its abandonment.
- The Philae Temple was relocated to its current location when the construction of the High Dam led to rising Nile waters. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple offers a beautiful setting on the river, landscaped to match its original site. Visitors can enjoy a short motorboat ride to the island for a walking tour and free time to explore further.
- For a memorable experience, visitors can be picked up from their hotel in Aswan for a trip to Abu Simbel. Here, they can marvel at the two Temples of Abu Simbel, considered masterpieces of Ancient Egypt. The first Temple of Ramses II is dedicated to four universal gods. In contrast, the second Temple of Queen Nefertari, also known as the Temple of Hathor, reflects the grandeur of the New Kingdom. The symbolism present in the temples brings together Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the God of the Sun.
