Your adventure begins early. A friendly representative will pick you up from your hotel in Port Ghalib in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle.
Sit back and relax as the desert road unfolds — a scenic 370-kilometer journey (approx. 4.5 hours) through the golden landscapes of Upper Egypt.
As you approach Aswan, you’ll feel the energy of the Nile valley welcoming you with palm groves and warm southern air.
Your first stop is the Aswan High Dam, one of the world’s engineering marvels. Often called “Egypt’s Fourth Pyramid,” this modern monument controls the Nile’s annual floods and created the vast Lake Nasser.
Here, your guide will explain how this project reshaped Egypt’s future — a story of national pride and vision.
Then, continue to the Unfinished Obelisk, an awe-inspiring reminder of ancient craftsmanship. Carved directly into the granite bedrock, it would have been the largest obelisk ever built if completed. You’ll see the marks left by ancient tools — a tangible link to the workers who shaped Egypt’s temples thousands of years ago.
Next, board a small motorboat to reach Agilkia Island, home of the enchanting Temple of Philae.
Dedicated to the goddess Isis, this temple is one of the most beautiful in Egypt — a sacred sanctuary of love and rebirth.
Your Egyptologist will bring its stories to life — how worshippers once traveled here to seek blessings, and how UNESCO engineers saved the entire complex from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.
Admire the towering columns, hieroglyphs, and the romantic legend of Isis and Osiris that still whispers through the stone corridors.
After exploring, relax over a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Aswan. Enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine while gazing at the river that has nurtured life for millennia.
Soft drinks and bottled water are included, ensuring you stay refreshed throughout your journey.
If time allows, enjoy a peaceful felucca sailboat ride on the Nile. Glide silently across the calm waters as palm trees and ancient temples line the riverbanks — a moment of serenity before your return journey.
After a full day of discovery, your private driver will take you back to your hotel in Port Ghalib.
You’ll arrive in the evening, filled with memories of temples, legends, and the living soul of ancient Egypt.
It’s approximately 370 km, taking about 4.5 hours each way. The scenery is beautiful and the ride comfortable in an air-conditioned vehicle.

The Aswan Day Tour from Port Ghalib isn’t just a sightseeing trip — it’s a deep dive into Egypt’s living heritage.
From the architectural genius of the High Dam to the divine aura of Philae Temple, every stop tells a story of human ambition, devotion, and creativity.
Whether you’re standing beneath colossal obelisks or sailing quietly on the Nile, Aswan will remind you why Egypt remains a land of eternal wonder.
