Our Egypt Legends tours guide will pick you up fromt your Aswan hotel or cruise ship to start your amazing day tour in Aswan, visit first the High Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 protecting Egypt from annual floods from the Nile.
Continue to the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan where much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from. The Unfinished Obelisk still lies where it was carved when a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain how the one tonne obelisk was carved, and why the crack caused it to be abandoned.
The last of the famous Aswan tour sites you will see generally regarded as the best. Philae Temple was carefully moved to its current location (around 500 meters from the original site) when the construction of the High Dam caused surrounding Nile waters to rise. A short motorboat ride takes you to the island where your guide will take you on a walking tour through the temple before allowing you free time to explore further on your own. At the end of your tour, you will return to your hotel or cruise ship in Aswan.
