Aswan & Philae - Island of Isis

An Aswan, Edfu and Philae tour from Luxor is a full-day private journey south through Upper Egypt's finest temple landscape. Travelling by air-conditioned vehicle with a professional driver, you stop at the great Temple of Horus at Edfu, stand above the Aswan High Dam that created Lake Nasser, and take a short motorboat to the island sanctuary of Isis at Philae. We include hotel pickup and drop-off, pace the long day for comfort, and can add a private Egyptologist guide for deeper temple interpretation along the route.
