Overview

the High Dam, the engineering miracle built in 1960 to protect Egypt from annual floods from the Nile.
Proceed to visit the Unfinished Obelisk which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut such obelisks. Most probably this obelisk belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, the powerful woman and the only female rulers of the 18th dynasty, the Daughter of Tuthmosis I, and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. Another opinion dedicate this obelisk to Queen
Nefertiti. Then to be driven to the majestic Philae Temple which was built on the honor of goddess Isis the chief deity of the island.
