The high Dam:
Aswan High Dam is a rock-fill dam located at the northern border between Egypt and Sudan. The dam is fed by the River Nile and the reservoir forms Lake Nasser. Construction for the project began in 1960 and was completed in 1968. It was officially inaugurated in 1971.
The unfinished obelisk:
Aswan was the source of ancient Egypt’s finest granite used to make statues and embellish temples, pyramids, and obelisks.
The large unfinished obelisk in the Northern Quarries has provided valuable insight into how these monuments were created, although the full construction process is still not entirely clear. Three sides of the shaft, nearly 42m long, were completed except for the inscriptions. At 1168 tonnes, the completed obelisk would have been the single heaviest piece of stone the Egyptians ever fashioned.

Hallie Ray Carson –
This trip had so many “pinch me” moments. Like when we were gliding along the Nile, Felucca sail flapping, ancient temples silhouetted against the sky—unreal
We flew from Cairo early and jumped straight into adventure. Philae was incredible. So elegant and dramatic sitting in the water. I took a hundred photos and none of them do it justice
The Unfinished Obelisk was cool too—it’s just lying there like the workers are still on lunch break
Abu Simbel was the crown jewel. The scale, the precision, the history—it hit me deep. I left feeling humbled, amazed, and so, so grateful
