Itinerary

Early in the morning, drive to Aswan, which is located 180 km southeast of Luxor. Once you arrive, start your tour by visiting Philae Temple, which is now located at a new location on Agilkia Island. It was moved from Philae Island to the new location as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign project, protecting this and other complexes before the 1970 completion of the Aswan High Dam. 
Philae Temple was dedicated to Isis and also has a shrine to Hathor. The great temple was built by Ptolemy II Philadelphus over the ruins of older temples built by Nectanebo I. Once you finish, you will take a motorboat to the Nubian Village, where you will be hosted in one of the local Nubian houses. Try the Nubian food and enjoy the cheerful, colorful houses, which give a positive energy. 
Have lunch at a good-quality local restaurant. 
Next, you will visit the Unfinished Obelisk, which is the largest known ancient obelisk and is located in the northern region of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan, Egypt.
Then continue to the High Dam, which was built between 1960 and 1970. It is 111 meters high. 
After finishing, drive back to Luxor.
