Half-Day Tour of Philae Temple and the High Dam in Aswan
Embark on a half-day tour from Aswan to explore two iconic sites: the High Dam and Philae Temple. Your journey begins with a visit to the High Dam, a remarkable structure built in the 1960s to control the annual flooding of the Nile River. Marvel at the dam's scale and significance as you take in its grandeur.
Next, board a motorboat to reach the ancient island of Philae, home to the enchanting Temple of Philae dedicated to the goddess Isis. Wander through its courts, colonnades, and halls while your Egyptologist guide unravels the temple's rich history.
Learn how this temple was relocated to its current site to prevent submersion in Lake Nasser.
