2. Day 2- Visit the High Dam and the Unfinished Obelisk

   • Have breakfast and visit the world-famous High Dam, an engineering miracle constructed between 1960 and 1970. It aimed to increase economic production by further regulating the annual river flooding and providing water storage for agriculture, and later, to generate hydroelectricity. The dam had a significant impact on the economy and culture of Egypt.
   • Move to the Unfinished Obelisk. This obelisk is believed to belong to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. The Unfinished Obelisk is the largest known ancient obelisk, located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan, Egypt. It is unknown which pharaoh created this structure. It is nearly one-third larger than any ancient Egyptian obelisk ever erected. If finished, it would have measured around 42 m and weighed nearly 1,200 tons. 
   • Go for the trip to the fabulous sound and light show at the Philae Temple. (Optional)

   Overnight in Aswan.

3. Day 3- Explore the Abu Simbel Temples

   • Have breakfast, and at 3:30 a.m., start your trip to Abu Simbel Temples. It takes about 3 hours and a half to drive one way from Aswan to Abu Simbel by a private air-conditioned vehicle. Upon arrival at Abu Simbel, enjoy the impressive Temples of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, dedicated to the four universal gods- Ptah, Re-Harakhte, Amun-Re, and Ramesses II.
