Itinerary

We have carefully planned out each day to give you the best possible experience. From exploring historic landmarks to tasting delicious local cuisine, each day is packed with adventure and excitement. Join us as we take you on a journey through some of the most fascinating destinations in the world

📍 Stop 1: Aswan High Dam

Start your journey at the Aswan High Dam, one of the most ambitious engineering projects of the 20th century. Built in the 1960s, this massive structure tamed the unpredictable Nile, prevented seasonal flooding, and provided electricity to millions of Egyptians. It also created Lake Nasser, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.

🪨 Stop 2: The Unfinished Obelisk

Next, visit the ancient granite quarries where Egypt’s builders once sourced stone for temples and monuments. Here lies the Unfinished Obelisk, a gigantic monument left partially carved in stone. Believed to have been commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut, this site offers an incredible look at ancient construction techniques and the scale of royal ambitions.

🛶 Stop 3: Philae Temple

Conclude your tour at the enchanting Philae Temple, once threatened by the Nile’s rising waters but saved by a heroic international effort. Relocated to Agilika Island, this temple is a tribute to the goddess Isis, and it radiates beauty, mythology, and ancient spirituality.

Enjoy a peaceful boat ride across the Nile to the island, and wander through beautifully preserved courtyards and sanctuaries as your guide shares the tales of Isis, Osiris, and Horus.
