Itinerary

Aswan
Upon arrival in Aswan, you will be welcomed by our local partner and transferred to your boat.... more+ Breakfast on board, then departure for a visit to the Temple of Isis on Philae Island. Begun by Pharaoh Nectanebo I during the 30th dynasty and completed by the Romans, it is the main sanctuary dedicated to Isis. Take a felucca ride around Elephantine Island and discover the local shops, then depart for the High Dam and the unfinished obelisk. The Aswan region, rich in schist, alabaster, and pink granite found only in this part of Egypt, provided the stone blocks used to build the pyramids, statues, and colossi erected by the pharaohs. In the granite quarry, you will find the largest obelisk known to date (41.75 m), which was abandoned due to a crack in the rock. Lunch and dinner on board. In the evening, optional sound and light show at the Temple of Philae. Night on board.

Unfinished obelisk
The Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan is an impressive remnant located in an ancient granite quarry in Upper Egypt. Commissioned during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, it was intended to be the largest obelisk ever constructed, reaching about 42 meters in height and... more+ weighing an estimated 1,200 tons. However, a crack that appeared during the carving process halted the work, leaving the monument incomplete and still attached to the bedrock.
Today, the site provides a unique insight into the working methods of ancient Egyptian stonecutters. Visitors can observe extraction techniques, tool marks, and the monumental logistics involved in creating such structures.
