The tour will start as soon as you visit the high dam which is considered an engineering wonder built during the 1960s and resulted in the largest artificial lake in the world behind.
The dam was created to secure Egypt from the devastation that the Nile flood used to cause on annual basis, and also from the severe droughts the country used to suffer and at the same time, was useful to manage the flooding water throughout the year.
At the time of its construction, the High Dam was responsible for around 50 % of the electricity production in Egypt, providing electricity to most of Egypt’s villages for the first time.
Then you will be transferred to the granite quarries in Aswan which provided the ancient Egyptians with such an enduring substance needed for building their statues, buildings, and most importantly their obelisks, in the quarry.
You will see the Unfinished Obelisk laid, this incomplete artifact shows the progress of carving an obelisk and release it from the mountain in ancient Egypt.
This obelisk was most apparently cut during the time of Queen Hatshepsut, one of the most dominant female rulers in the ancient Egyptian history.
Then continue to visit the majestic Philae Temple the Centre of the cult of Goddess Isis the chief deity of the island, the temple would have been completely submerged under the rising water if an international salvage campaign had not taken place to relocate the temple.
You will reach the temple after an enjoyable boat ride to the island.
Philae Temple rose to prominence during the Ptolemaic Dynasty and was actually one of the last remaining places where the ancient Egyptian religion was practiced after the spreading of Christianity in Egypt.
