Pompey's Pillar

On a rocky hilltop in the middle of the great city of  Alexandria , lies the only known free-standing column to ever exist in Egypt and the largest monolith column ever erected.

Phiala temple:

Built to honor the goddess Isis, this was the last temple built in the classical Egyptian style. Construction began around 690 BC, and it was one of the last outposts where the goddess was worshipped

Aswan 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.

Our guide arranged for us to have a one-hour felucca ride on the Nile, followed by a trip by motorboat to the Nubian Village. Peacefully drifting on the Nile River by felucca at sunset was my favourite experience in Aswan. Overnight stay in Aswan
