About this experience
Connect three very different chapters of Aswan's story.
Look across the dam landscape, then visit the granite quarry to see the Unfinished Obelisk still attached to the bedrock. Continue to the marina for a boat crossing to Philae, where your guide introduces the temple setting and reliefs.
Return by boat and road after the visit; site order may change to suit access and opening times.
