ROCS Bespoke Journeys 11 Day Wonders Of Egypt 2026

DAY 5 HIGH DAM – PHILAE TEMPLE - UNFINISHED OBELISK After breakfast, visit the Aswan High Dam, Egypt’s most notable example of a modern engineering feat. Its construction in the 1960’s was somewhat controversial due to the loss of Nubian villages and temples which now lie under Lake Nasser, the world’s largest artificial lake. However, the resulting electricity generated by the dam supplies the whole of Egypt. Short motorboat ride to visit the romantic and majestic Philae Temple on the Island of Agilika. This will be followed by a visit to the Granite Quarries, which supplied the ancient Egyptians with most of the hard stone used in pyramids and temples, and still hold a huge unfinished obelisk.
