    Aswan High Dam

    Your guide will meet you at your Aswan hotel in a private air-conditioned vehicle. Discover the mighty High Dam of Aswan, a modern marvel of engineering that tamed the Nile and transformed Egypt’s landscape. Built in the 1960s, it created the vast Lake Nasser and provides hydroelectric power and irrigation to millions across the country.

    Unfinished Obelisk

    Visit Aswan’s Unfinished Obelisk, a remarkable monument that offers a rare glimpse into ancient Egyptian stone-carving techniques. Still lying in its original granite quarry, this massive obelisk—meant to be the largest ever built—cracked during construction and was never completed. Standing beside it, you can imagine the immense effort and skill required to create Egypt’s legendary monuments.
