FAQs

What will I see on the Aswan Day Tour?

You’ll visit three of Aswan’s most iconic sites in one day: the Aswan High Dam, an engineering marvel completed in 1960, the Unfinished Obelisk, which reveals exactly how ancient Egyptians carved these massive stone monuments and is believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, and Philae Temple, reached by a short boat ride across the Nile and dedicated to the goddess Isis.

How do I get to Philae Temple?

Philae Temple sits on an island in the Nile, so after visiting the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk, you’ll take a short boat crossing to reach it. Our guide will handle the boat arrangements so you can simply enjoy the ride and the views along the way.

Does the tour include hotel pickup?

Yes. Your Egypt Day Tours guide will pick you up directly from your Aswan hotel to start the day, so there’s no need to arrange your own transport between the sites.

Why is the Unfinished Obelisk worth visiting?

It’s one of the best places in Egypt to understand ancient stone-cutting techniques up close. The obelisk cracked mid-carving and was abandoned in its quarry, and it’s believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, giving you a rare, unfinished look at how these towering monuments were made.

Is this tour private or shared with other travelers?

Every Egypt Day Tours experience, including this one, is private and customized to you. You won’t be grouped with other travelers, so your guide can pace the day around your interests.
