Aswan High Dam Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Aswan High Dam in 2024?

It may have cost Egypt a billion dollars for the 10-year engineering project to be carried out, but visiting Aswan High Dam will only set you back EGP 100. Be sure to ask if there are separate photography or filming fees if you plan on taking pictures or video.

Q: What is Aswan High Dam known for?

Constructed in 1970, the Aswan High Dam is heralded worldwide as an impressive feat of modern engineering. It was designed to control the Nile River’s annual floods. The dam created Lake Nasser, a sprawling artificial lake, and necessitated the relocation of Abu Simbel. It houses a hydroelectric power plant.

Q: How long does it take to tour Aswan High Dam?

Q: Is visiting Aswan High Dam worth it?

Yes, most people agree that visiting Aswan High Dam is worth it. The dam is celebrated for its technical ingenuity, and it played a major role in Egypt’s history and economy. The modern structure and scenery around tranquil Lake Nasser presents a nice change of pace from visiting ancient temples.

They even brought us to the quarry to see how local people extract the stole from the ground. We really uppreciated their company and we suggest tourists to book this trip with them.

Great tour

Great day with a knowledgeable guide. Comfy transport and loved the perfume/aromatherapy section. Temple is well worth a visit and dam is fascinating.

JanWillem_L, Jan 2026

Highly recommendible!

If you are in Aswan this tour is a 'must do'... The Aswan High Dam is nice to see, but the real highlight is the Philae Temple on the island, which also houses a Roman temple. A magic place! Both the driver and the guide (Aida) where five star quality. The guide gives you a lot of information about both the Greek and Roman temples. And she is very funny... 😉
