Then proceed to visit the Unfinished Obeliskwhich shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks. Most probably this obelisk belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th Dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. This queen was the owner of her Temple in the eastern bank of Luxor . Also there is an opinion said that it belongs to Queen Nefertiti.

    Super!!!!

    My location was not in their list of pickup points. Ahmed from MyEgyTours support coordinated over WhatsApp to ensure that my location was recorded correctly in their records. The car reached my apartment on time. From my previous experience I have realised that the guide can make or break your trip , Sara - my Egyptologist guide was a great natured and warm person with a deep knowledge of Egyptian history. She gave me a wonderful tour of the pyramids and sphinx. Luckily she was with me for the Egypt museum tour the next day. Full marks to MyEgyTours for their professionalism.

    Super time

    We had a three day-Nile cruise and a guide Moaaz was amazing! He is very cultured, committed and nice. The whole staff was professional, kind, and helpful with everyone We would recommend Moaaz as a top guide for egyptian archeological sites.

    Best services

    We did a 4 day tour in Cairo. Our guide was Belal and the driver was Omar. They both made sure that everything went smoothly and accommodated us to our needs and made us feel safe at all times. Belal was super informative during all of our tours and took great photos for us. Both Belal and Omar made us feel comfortable and it wouldn’t have been as fun if it wasn’t for those two. My husband and I enjoyed their company and hospitality.

    Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

    How much does Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aswan is not rushed.

    Is Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aswan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aswan Trip,Philae,the High Dam, Unfinished Obelisk start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aswan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Aswan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Aswan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 or 2 or 1 Nights Mighty Nile Felucca Adventure, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor - Private Tour, 4-Day 3-Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor&Abu Simbel+Balloon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Aswan?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Aswan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
