Meet your tour representative and join the other travelers in your small group before beginning the journey toward Aswan.
Travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle through the Eastern Desert and toward the Nile Valley.
The journey is long, but the changing scenery provides an interesting introduction to southern Egypt.
As you approach Aswan, the desert landscape gradually gives way to the green fields, palm trees, villages, and waterways of the Nile Valley.
Arrival in Aswan
Upon arrival, meet your professional Egyptologist guide.
Your guide will introduce you to Aswan and explain how the city developed around the Nile and became one of the most important regions of ancient southern Egypt.
Your sightseeing program begins with one of the area's most famous attractions: Philae Temple.
Temple De Philae
Board a motorboat and cross the Nile toward the island where the magnificent Temple De Philae complex is located.
The boat journey provides beautiful views of the Nile and the surrounding islands.
After arriving, begin your guided exploration of the temple complex.
Philae is strongly associated with the worship of the goddess Isis and contains impressive gateways, columns, reliefs, inscriptions, and architectural elements from different periods of Egyptian history.
Your Egyptologist guide will explain the mythology and history associated with the temple and help you understand the significance of the ancient sanctuary.
Philae Temple Highlights

- Temple d'Isis
- Monumental gateways
- Ancient columns

Learn how the dam changed the management of the Nile and contributed to electricity generation and flood control.
Enjoy views of the surrounding landscape and Lake Nasser while your guide explains the history and significance of the project.
Obélisque Inachevé
Next, visit the fascinating Obélisque Inachevé.
Located in an ancient granite quarry, the unfinished monument provides a unique opportunity to understand how Ancient Egyptian craftsmen worked with enormous blocks of stone.
Because the obelisk was abandoned before completion, traces of the ancient carving process remain visible.
Your guide will explain the importance of Aswan's granite quarries and how stone from the region was used in temples, statues, obelisks, and other monumental structures throughout Egypt.
Lunch in Aswan
After the morning sightseeing, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
Take a break, relax, and enjoy a meal before continuing your Aswan experience.
Lunch is provided according to the selected package.
Drinks and additional personal orders may be charged separately.

- Walk through a Nubian village
- Discover traditional homes
- Learn about Nubian culture
- See traditional crafts
- Meet local residents
- Enjoy traditional hospitality
- Explore the Nile surroundings
The Nubian Village experience is optional and may involve additional charges.

Optional Felucca Ride
Another possible addition is a traditional promenade en felouque sur le Nil.
Relax aboard a traditional sailing boat and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Aswan.
