Day Tour of Aswan: Discover the Wonders of Ancient Egypt

Experience the highlights of Aswan on your Aswan Day Tour: Philae Temple, High Dam with Imperial Egypt Tours. Our daily tours will take you to the High Dam, which created Lake Nasser, 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, making it one of the most significant sites in Egypt. As part of your Aswan Day Tour: Philae Temple, High Dam, you will explore this sacred temple located on an island in the Nile, surrounded by stunning views of the river.

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. This stop is a vital part of your Aswan Day Tour: Philae Temple, High Dam, offering insight into Egypt’s modern infrastructure and its impact on the country’s development.

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. You will see the 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 Aswan Day Tour: Philae Temple, High Dam and immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt.

 Verified Unforgettable Nile Cruise Experience – Perfect From Start to Finish! Thank you for cruise and Hady;)
I joined the 4 days / 3 nights Nile cruise and it was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life. From the moment we checked in, everything was perfectly arranged. We were given a beautiful room with an amazing view, and the cruise itself was so elegant, clean, and comfortable. Every detail was thoughtful.The tours were also exceptional. Our guide, Hady, was absolutely the best storyteller. He didn’t just explain history – he brought ancient Egypt to life for us. He shared so much knowledge with passion and humour, and made every temple and site feel meaningful. Because of him, the journey became even more impressive.The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and the experience was so relaxing and unforgettable. I would definitely love to travel again with the same cruise and tour company. Highly recommended!
