ITINERARY
- Our first stop is the enchanting Temple of Philae on Agilika Island in Aswan. Originally located near the First Cataract of the Nile, the temple complex was meticulously relocated to Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign. Marvel at the hieroglyphic reliefs as you delve into the rich history of this sacred site during our 2-hour exploration.
- Next, we'll visit the iconic Aswan High Dam, a monumental structure built between 1960 and 1970. This engineering marvel has played a crucial role in controlling flooding, enhancing water storage for irrigation, and generating hydroelectricity, significantly impacting Egypt's economy and culture. Spend an insightful hour learning about the dam's historical significance and its transformative effects.
- Continuing your journey, you'll visit the Unfinished Obelisk, showcasing ancient Egyptian stone-cutting techniques. Believed to belong to Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty, this obelisk provides insights into ancient quarrying methods.
