Overview
Aswan day tour is simply a delightful excursion to walk through one of the picturesque and historical cities in Egypt. Huge landscapes, cultural avalanches, and wonderful ancient sites are what Aswan is known for. In this sense, we begin our trip with a visit to the architectural wonder that is the High Dam, containing within itself the treasures of controlling Nile water flow and supplying hydroelectric power for Egypt. Here, the views extend to Lake Nasser, which is one of the largest man-made lakes created in the interest of Egypt's development.
The Philae Temple is next on the agenda, an astounding edifice dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple is in immaculate condition, having been spared from rising waters by relocation to Agilkia Island. Animals are decorated along the walls with intricate carvings, in keeping with all the customary grand pylons telling the stories of ancient Egyptian mythology. To reach the temple by a scenic boat ride across the Nile adds a bit of magic to one of the must-visit sights in Aswan.
A soothing ride in a felucca boat around Elephantine Island makes a wonderful closure to your day with views of lush scenery and traditional Nubian villages on the waterside. Alternatively, you can visit the Unfinished Obelisk, a colossal ancient edifice granting insight into ancient Egyptian stone-cutting techniques. It does not matter whether you have a love for history, culture, or nature; an Aswan day excursion will be a memorable blend of discoveries and rest in one of Egypt's most alluring cities.

Itinerary
Start your day with a visit to the High Dam, which is regarded as a modern wonder of Egypt. The dam is designed to regulate the Nile flooding and generate hydroelectric energy, and it presents an excellent view of Lake Nasser-The most enormous artificial lake in the world. Learn its history and how it changed the economy and agriculture of Egypt.
Then move to the Unfinished Obelisk; it is one of the enormous ancient monuments that are still lying in its quarry. This monument weighs so large that it is thought to be the project of Queen Hatshepsut and gives insight into ancient stone-cutting techniques. It is a part of the evidence of the incredible skill of the artisans, who left quite an interesting view of why the obelisk was abandoned.
Continue sailing to Philae Temple dedicated to the goddess Isis-traveling this invariant way from the so-called Agilkia Island to one of the most beautiful sites of Aswan. Stroll through the wonderful halls and exquisite carvings while learning about the rescue of the complex's flooding caused during the construction of the High Dam.
End the day with a languid walk in Aswan's lively markets, where you can buy spices, perfumes, and Nubian crafts. And all this after a day filled with history, culture, and painting landscapes—to your hotel or cruise, with unforgettable memories of the carven beauty of Aswan.
