Aswan
Day 1A trip to Philae Temple, Aswan High Dam and Unfinished Obelisk
Our representative comes to take you from Aswan to start your journey to visit the Philae Motor Pagoda, which is located on an island in the reservoir of the Aswan Dam low, at the mouth of the Aswan Dam and Lake Nasser, and then to the High Dam, the dam helped a lot in controlling the flow of water and mitigating the effects of the Nile flood. Egypt. The dam behind it is the largest artificial lake in the world with a length of 500 km average, the width of the lake 10 km, and the total storage capacity of 162 billion cubic meters. The length of the dam is 3600 meters, the width of the base is 980 meters, the width of the summit is 40 meters, and the height is 111 meters. Dam size is 43 million cubic meters of cement, iron, and other materials.
Then to the unfinished obelisk, the missing obelisk represents a great disappointment for the ancient Egyptian stone workers, but at the same time it is an amazing site for tourists, as it is the largest obelisk found in Egypt. The obelisk is about 42 meters high, and its weight is estimated at 1186 tons. Had it been completed, it would have become the largest Egyptian building. Perhaps it was not completed after it cracked in the middle of it.
The obelisk is still attached to the mother rock in the northern stone quarries, where the ancient Egyptians extracted granite. You will notice the signs of the tools, pictorial portraits of dolphins and birds engraved on this monumental obelisk. Then return to your hotel again after the tour ends.
