A Cairo Top Tours representative will be waiting for you at your hotel in Luxor to start your two-day adventure by transferring you from your hotel in a private air-conditioned car to Aswan, where you can immerse yourself in the early civilization of the Pharaohs.
Your day will start with an incredible visit to the Aswan High Dam, which is a hydroelectric dam on the Nile River in southern Egypt, built during the reign of Gamal Abdel Nasser and to whose construction the Soviet Union contributed. Owned and operated by the Aswan High Dam and Reservoir General Authority, the dam has helped control water flow and mitigate the effects of Nile floods. It is used to generate electricity in Egypt.
After that, we will explore the Temple of Philae, This temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was flooded by the waters of the Nile, was divided and reassembled in a new location on the island of Agilika, about 500 meters from its original site on the island of Philae, and its buildings include a temple to Hathor and a night show of light and sound presented in different languages.
Finally, we conclude our excursion with the visit of the Unfinished Ublisk. It is a pink granite obelisk in Aswan, Egypt. It is found in the northern part of a quarry there, located near Aswan on the eastern shore of the Nile, about 1 kilometer east of the Nile River, and it is believed that it was during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut that work on the obelisk began, with the intention of placing it in the Karnak Temple in Luxor. After ancient Egyptian workers excavated the obelisk from three sides in preparation for removing it from the pavement and completing its installation, they discovered a crack in it that made it unsuitable. The workers stopped completing it.
Finally, we take you to your hotel in Aswan to spend the night and rest to prepare you for your next adventure to Abu Simbel.
