Itinerary
- Aswan High Dam: Drive to the High Dam of Aswan, an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s. From the top of the High Dam, you can gaze across Lake Nasser to the Kalabsha temple in the south and the huge power station to the north.
- Temple of Philae: • Built to honor the goddess Isis, this was the last temple built in the classical Egyptian style.
Construction began around 690 BC, and it was one of the last outposts where the goddess was
worshiped. - Unfinished Obelisk: the Unfinished Obelisk in the granite quarries of Aswan, where much of the red granite used for ancient temples and colossi came from. The Unfinished Obelisk still lies where it was carved when a crack was discovered as it was being hewn from the rock. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain how the 1-tonne obelisk was carved, and why the crack caused it to be abandoned.
