Itinerary
Early in the morning, you will meet our representative, who will await you with a private vehicle and a driver to begin your fantastic historical adventure as part of your Aswan day tour.
Our first stop to visit is the Abu Simbel Temple. The Great Pharaoh Ramses II built it during the 13th century BC (around 1264–1244 BC) to celebrate his rule and religious status, as well as to honour the gods. The temple is aligned so that twice a year, specifically on 22 February and October, the sun’s rays penetrate the cover and light the statues of the gods seated beside Ramses. This amazing solar event marks the king’s crowning and birthday, marking his connection to God, a highlight of many Aswan day trips and Egypt day tours.
Then, head to the High Dam, also known as the Aswan High Dam, which is one of Egypt most amazing modern engineering achievements. This dam is situated in Aswan, southern Egypt. It was built across the Nile to prevent flooding, to store water, and to generate electricity. The dam formed the Lake Nasser, which is one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. The lake stretches more than 500 km southward into Sudan.
Finally, after this amazing experience rich with cultural and historical knowledge, our representative will carry you back to your hotel, marking the perfect end to your Aswan private tour and your unforgettable Egypt tour.
