Tour Itinerary
Aswan Tour Visiting Philae Temple
Description
The day begins at 8 am when your Egyptologist guide collects you from the airport, hotel, or cruise ship, for a day tour of the stunning Nile-side city of Aswan. You'll travel by air-conditioned vehicle to view the Aswan High Dam.
The Aswan Dam, often known as the Aswan High Dam since the 1960s, is an embankment dam that was constructed in Aswan, Egypt, between 1960 and 1970 to span the Nile. Its importance far outweighed that of the earlier Aswan Low Dam, which was built downstream and finished in 1902. Following the 1952 Egyptian Revolution, the government made building the High Dam a top priority due to the Low Dam's success at full capacity. The dam's capacity to produce hydroelectricity, improve flood control, and increase water storage for irrigation made it essential for Egypt's planned industrialization. Similar to its earlier installation, the High Dam has had a profound impact on Egypt's culture and economy.
Philae temple
Here you'll explore the pylons, columns, and courtyards of the stunning temple of Isis, the Egyptian fertility goddess whose cult spread from Egypt across the Roman Empire. Drop-off at your hotel is at around 2 pm.
