Itineraries

Your adventure begins in the morning with a private pickup from your hotel in Marsa Alam.

Your first stop is the Aswan High Dam, a massive project from the 1960s that ushered Egypt into an age of industrial wealth. You will then visit the Unfinished Obelisk, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut. Had it been completed, it would have been the largest single piece of stone ever carved by human hands, standing as a testament to the sheer ambition of ancient Egyptian architects.

Following a deluxe lunch at a local restaurant in Aswan, you will take a short boat ride to the Philae Temple. This legendary sanctuary, dedicated to the goddess Isis, was the last temple built in the classical Egyptian style in 280 BC. You will explore its colossal walls, which keep the myth of Osiris alive through breathtaking carvings and Greco-Roman artistry. Your day concludes with a check-in at a premier 5-star hotel in Aswan for a peaceful overnight stay.
