What makes Private Tour to High Dam, The Obelisk, Philae Temple in Aswan a unique experience ?
The day tour in Aswan begins with a pickup from your hotel or cruise ship. You’ll head to the High Dam of Aswan, a remarkable engineering feat built in the 1960s. From the dam’s summit, enjoy panoramic views of Lake Nasser, with the Kalabsha temple visible to the south and the expansive power station to the north.
