Aswan is home to several ancient Egyptian landmarks, including Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisque. With a guided tour, visitors can explore and learn about the history and significance of these iconic sites.
The tour typically begins with a visit to the Philae Temple, a complex of temples and shrines dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple was originally located on the island of Philae but was relocated to its current location on Agilkia Island in the 1970s due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

Next, the tour moves on to the Unfinished Obelisque, a massive stone pillar located in a quarry just outside Aswan.

Visitors can also learn about the symbolism and significance of the obelisque in ancient Egyptian culture.
Overall, the Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisque Tour provides a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Egyptian civilization and its lasting cultural and architectural legacy.
