Construction began around 690 BC, and it was one of the last outposts where the goddess was worshipped. 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.

    Ce voyage a dépassé toutes mes attentes! Assouan et Abu Simbel sont des endroits à couper le souffle. La voile sur le Nil était très paisible. Je ne saurais trop recommander cette visite.

    Несмотря на дальнюю дорогу, путешествие того стоило. Высокая плотина впечатляет, а храм на острове Фила меня просто заворожил. Особенно понравилось плавание на фелюке по Нилу. Рекомендую!

    Questo viaggio è stato incredibile. Assuan e Abu Simbel sono posti che tutti dovrebbero vedere almeno una volta. Abbiamo adorato la gita in feluca sul Nilo. Esperienza altamente raccomandata!
