Marvel at Philae Temple, High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk
Come with me and let's explore the highlights of bustling, history-filled Aswan during this full-day private tour. Let's marvel at the modern engineering feat known as the High Dam, learn how ancient monuments were constructed during a visit to the unfinished obelisk, and hop aboard a motorboat to travel across the Nile to the stunning Philae Temple.
I have participated in many conferences and workshops in Egypt, Sudan, and Germany about Nubia. I am one of the best people to talk to you about the history, culture, and language of Nubia because I am the son of this society, culture, and history. I'm versed in all aspects of civilization, whether Nubian or Egyptian. For these reasons, I will make sure that if you choose me, you will not regret it!
With me, you will see and learn about archeology and civilization in Aswan from a different and comprehensive perspective (sometimes unusual critical explanation!).
