A representative from Book Egypt Travel will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo and transfer you to the airport for your domestic flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, you will be met and assisted by a professional Egyptologist tour guide who will accompany you throughout your day tour from Cairo to Aswan by plane.

Philae Temple – Temple of the Goddess Isis

Your tour begins with a visit to the magnificent Philae Temple, one of Egypt’s most beautiful and spiritually significant temples. Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this sacred complex dates back to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods and is renowned for its elegant reliefs, towering columns, and well-preserved sanctuaries. Originally located on Philae Island, the temple was carefully relocated to Agilkia Island as part of a UNESCO rescue project to protect it from flooding after the construction of the High Dam, making it a powerful symbol of both ancient devotion and modern preservation.

Unfinished Obelisk

Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, an enormous granite monument abandoned after a crack appeared during construction. Had it been completed, it would have been the largest obelisk ever carved, standing over 42 meters high and weighing more than 1,000 tons. This site provides rare insight into the tools, techniques, and extraordinary skill of ancient Egyptian stoneworkers.

Aswan High Dam – Modern Engineering Marvel

Visit the impressive Aswan High Dam, one of the most important modern achievements in Egypt. Completed in 1970, the dam controls the annual flooding of the Nile, generates hydroelectric power, and created Lake Nasser, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. While it played a vital role in Egypt’s economic development, its construction also led to the relocation of several ancient monuments, including the famous Abu Simbel temples.

Nile Boat Trip & Lunch

Enjoy a scenic boat trip on the Nile River to a nearby island, where you will relax and enjoy a delicious lunch in a tranquil island setting, surrounded by beautiful river views.

Nubian Village Experience

Continue your journey with a visit to a traditional Nubian Village, famous for its colorful houses, friendly locals, and rich cultural heritage. Walk through the village streets, learn about Nubian customs and language, and experience daily life along the Nile, making this a truly memorable cultural encounter.

Return to Cairo

At the end of your tour, you will be transferred to Aswan Airport for your return flight to Cairo, followed by a comfortable transfer back to your hotel, concluding an unforgettable Aswan day trip with Book Egypt Travel.
