Philae Temple:
This graceful temple devoted to the goddess Isis was one of the last built in classical Egyptian style around 690 BC and it had been a place of worship for hundreds of years.
The High Dam:
An impressive modern engineering feat, the Aswan High Dam was built from 1960 to 1968 to regulate the Nile's flooding and to form Lake Nasser, the largest artificial lake in the world.
The Unfinished Obelisk:
This huge monument of almost 42 meters in length, found in Aswan's Northern Quarry, gives a glimpse into the ancient Egyptians' stone-carving methods and would have been the largest obelisk ever if it had been finished.
Nubian Village Visit:
Step into the Nubian Village and experience its colorful allure and the genuine lifestyles of the Nubians, famous for their liveliness, their houses, and their art.
Philae Temple Sound & Light Show:

The temples of Abu Simbel, which were the ones carved into the mountainside during the period of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, still remain as impressive monuments to ancient Egyptian strength and religious devotion. Your accredited Egyptologist guide will make history vivid during your visit to the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Temple of Queen Nefertari, which are both masterpieces of rock-cut architecture.
