The Fascinating History Behind our Unfinished Obelisk Excursions

The narrative of our Unfinished Obelisk excursions is centered around the incredible craftsmanship of the New Kingdom, likely during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut. During your Unfinished Obelisk tour, you will learn how ancient masons carved directly into the bedrock to create what would have been the largest obelisk ever erected. History comes alive at the Unfinished Obelisk as our expert guides explain the specialized techniques used to split granite and the dramatic story of why this nearly 1,200-ton masterpiece was ultimately abandoned in its cradle.

Highlights: What to See During Your Unfinished Obelisk Tour

The definitive highlight of any Unfinished Obelisk tour is the sheer magnitude of the monument itself, stretching nearly 42 meters in length. However, our comprehensive Unfinished Obelisk Tours also explore the ancient tool marks and chisel lines that remain perfectly preserved in the surrounding rose granite. Many of our guests choose to enhance their itinerary by combining these sights with our high-end Aswan Tours, allowing for a seamless transition from the granite quarries to the majestic Philae Temple in total luxury.
