Breakfast on Board the Cruise 08:00 Proceed with Visits to Aswan including the Temple of Philae and a tour by Felucca around Elephantine, the High Dam, the Unfinished Obelisk Philae Temple: Raised to honour the goddess Isis, this was the final temple constructed in the classical Egyptian tradition. Work began around 690 BC, and for centuries it remained one of the last strongholds where devoted worshippers continued to venerate the goddess. The High Dam: Aswan High Dam is a rock-fill dam positioned at the northern border between Egypt and Sudan. The dam draws its water from the River Nile, and the reservoir it creates forms Lake Nasser. Construction commenced in 1960 and reached completion in 1968, with an official inauguration ceremony held in 1971. The Unfinished Obelisk :
Aswan supplied ancient Egypt with its most prized granite, quarried for the fashioning of statues and the embellishment of temples, pyramids, and obelisks. The enormous unfinished obelisk still resting in the Northern Quarries has shed remarkable light on the techniques employed to create such monuments, though the full sequence of construction methods remains a subject of ongoing study. Three faces of the shaft — nearly 42 m in length — were carved to near-completion, with only the inscriptions left undone. At 1168 tonnes, the finished obelisk would have ranked as the heaviest single stone object the ancient Egyptians ever attempted to create. 12:00 lunch in Aswan then transfers back to Soma bay from Aswan.
