Founded during the reign of Senusret I in 1971 BC and continuously expanded until the end of the Ptolemaic Kingdom (305–30 BC), this legendary site once served as the religious capital of Thebes, honoring the divine Theban Triad of Amun-Re, Mut, and Montu.

Rising majestically along the Nile, the Aswan High Dam achieved everlasting greatness by harnessing the river’s floodwaters to generate electricity, forever transforming Egypt’s relationship with the Nile and powering the nation for generations to come.

The Unfinished Obelisk
Discover this extraordinary monument, forever frozen on its path toward greatness. Had it been completed, this colossal obelisk was destined to stand proudly at Karnak Temple as the largest obelisk ever created, soaring to a staggering 41.75 meters (137.0 ft) and weighing as much as 2,000 African elephants, all in tribute to the legendary Queen Hatshepsut (1508–1458 BC). Left abandoned in the ancient quarry after cracks appeared in the granite, it offers an unmatched glimpse into the astonishing ambition and skill of ancient Egyptian craftsmen.

Then, indulge in a tasteful lunch at a delightful restaurant in Aswan.

It’s best to refer to our terms and conditions page or contact us to inquire about the refund policy for cancellations.

Can I change the travel date?

In general, it is often possible to change the travel date, but it may be subject to certain conditions and fees. Airlines, for instance, typically offer options to change flight dates, but they may charge a change fee and any difference in fare. It’s important to review the terms and conditions of your ticket or booking and the policies of the airline or travel agency you booked to understand the options available to you.

Similarly, hotels and other accommodations may have different policies regarding date changes. Some may allow free or low-cost changes if made within a certain time frame, while others may have more restrictive policies or charge a fee for modifications.
