3. Next, visit the Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan’s granite quarries, where much of the red granite for ancient temples and statues was sourced. This massive obelisk, still embedded in the rock, was abandoned when a crack was discovered. Your qualified Egyptologist guide will explain the carving process and the reasons behind its abandonment.

   1 t

4. The final stop is the renowned Temple of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. The temple was meticulously relocated to its current site (approximately 500 meters from its original location) to protect it from the rising waters caused by the High Dam's construction. A short motorboat ride will take you to the island, where your guide will lead a walking tour through the temple. You’ll also have some free time to explore the site further on your own.

About Aswan

Aswan er Egyptens rolige sydlige by ved Nilen, hvor feluccaer glider mellem granitøer, nubiske landsbyer og palmekantede flodbredder.

Nilen er smukkest her, brudt af granitblokke og grønne øer. Elefantøen rummer ruiner af gamle templer og farverige nubiske landsbyer, Kitcheners Ø er dækket af en botanisk have, og på vestbredden er adelsmændenes grave hugget ind i klipperne ved Qubbet el-Hawa, mens Aga Khans kuppelformede mausoleum står på en ørkenbakke længere mod syd.
