Private Day Trip From Luxor to Aswan

Experience the best of Aswan and be back in Luxor before bedtime with our private tour. Accompanied by an expert Egyptologist guide, you will visit the Edfu Temple dedicated to Horus, and the Temple of Philae dedicated to Isis on the way to Aswan. After lunch, you will explore the top attractions of Aswan, including the Aswan High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk.

1. 1

   Edfu Temple

   2 hours

   Your Egyptologist guide will provide a comfortable transfer by air-conditioned vehicle from your Luxor hotel or Nile Cruise to Aswan, with a stop at the impressive Edfu Temple en route. Dedicated to the falcon god Horus, the temple's intricate reliefs offer valuable insight into ancient Egyptian religious and political beliefs.

2. 2

   Aswan High Dam

   2 hours

   It's time to take a break for lunch. Once you've finished your meal, we'll head to the impressive High Dam. This structure is considered one of the most significant accomplishments of the past century in Egypt, as it contains 18 times the material used in the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Not only does it provide the country with water and electricity, but it also protects Egypt from the destructive flooding of the Nile River.

3. 3

   Temple of Philae

   2 hours

   Next, you'll explore the Temple of Isis at Philae. Construction of the temple began during the reign of Ptolemy II and was completed under the Roman emperors. It was dedicated to the goddess Isis, who was considered the mother of all gods, the mother of Horus, and the consort of Osiris.

4. 4

   Unfinished Obelisk

   1 hour

   Continuing on, we will visit the Unfinished Obelisk, an impressive example of ancient Egyptian stone-cutting techniques. This obelisk is believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut during the 18th Dynasty. After the tour, we will transfer you back to your hotel or Nile Cruise in Luxor.
