Itinerary
Your guide will collect you from your hotel, thus paving the way for an exciting and explorative day ahead.
To start with, you will be taken to the High Dam, which is an outstanding modern structure that was constructed in 1960. It functions as an obstacle to the annual flooding of Egypt by the river Nile.
Further in your journey, you will have a chance to time travel as you visit the Unfinished Obelisk, which is a wonderful example of engineering skills of the ancient Egyptians. The stone pillar, which might have been designed for Queen Hatshepsut, a famous ruler of the 18th Dynasty who was also the wife of King Tuthmosis II, is a perfect place to understand the ancient stone-cutting technology. There are assumptions that it could also belong to Queen Nefertiti.
Our tour ends at the amazing Philae Temple, dedicated to Goddess Isis, the most important god on this island.
Get ready to feel the history in these magnificent monuments.
