Start your 2-Day Private Aswan and Abu Simbel Tour from Cairo with a pick up early from your hotel. You will then travel in a private, air-conditioned car to Cairo Airport. From there, fly to Aswan. When you arrive, your own guide will meet you and take you around the city.
First, go to the Aswan High Dam. This major project was finished in the 1960s. It was made to manage the Nile’s yearly flooding. It also helps produce electricity. The dam led to the creation of Lake Nasser, one of the biggest man-made lakes on Earth.After that, visit the Unfinished Obelisk. It sits in an old granite quarry in Aswan. You can see how the ancient workers tried to carve a huge monument. This site gives a clear look at how obelisks were shaped in ancient Egypt.
When you finish the sights, stop for lunch at a local restaurant. Later, head to the Philae Temple. This temple complex was built for Isis. She is linked with motherhood and magic. The temple stands on Agilkia Island. Expect tall columns, careful carvings, and reliefs that are still in good condition.After you wrap up your Aswan tour, you will be taken to a five-star hotel. You will stay overnight in Aswan. The next day, you will continue on to the Abu Simbel Temples.
