Excursions4all.com guide will be waiting for you at your reception at 7:00 Am approximately for a pickup in air-conditioned coach to train station where we will board and meet the Egyptologist who will guide you on a trip to discover Aswan a tranquil resort from where the Pharaohs first quarried granite for their monuments. Evidence of this is found in the Northern Quarry where The Unfinished Obelisk lies, weighing in at over 2.3 million pounds it would have been the world’s largest piece of stone ever handled, when a crack in the stone occurred, it was abandoned and therefore never used. Your guide will take you to the nearby island of Philae which was submerged with the construction of the High Dam. Before this, visitors could view the partially submerged ruins of the temple of Philae on rowboats. The construction of the High Dam necessitated the removal of the island monuments to the nearby island of Agilika. Returning back to the train station and the return trip to Luxor where your excursions4all.com rep will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.
