Begin your exciting Day Trip from Luxor to Aswan with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or Nile cruise. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for a scenic drive along the Nile, taking in the desert landscape and the serene beauty of the river. After approximately three hours, you’ll arrive in Aswan, a city known for its stunning monuments and peaceful atmosphere.
Your first stop is the Philae Temple, located on Agilkia Island. This temple is dedicated to the goddess Isis and is one of Egypt’s most beautiful and well-preserved temples. Enjoy exploring the temple and learn about its fascinating history, from the ancient rituals performed here to its relocation during the construction of the High Dam.
Next, you’ll head to the Aswan High Dam, an impressive feat of modern engineering that controls the flow of the Nile and helps regulate Egypt’s water supply. Stand at the viewpoint and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Lake Nasser, which is the largest artificial lake in the world.
Then, visit the Unfinished Obelisk, an ancient monument that offers insight into how the ancient Egyptians carved massive obelisks. You’ll see the giant obelisk that was abandoned in the quarry due to a crack, offering a glimpse into the stone-working techniques of ancient craftsmen.
