Unleash your inner with Aswan Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk Tour and get the chance to visit the great High Dam which was considered to be an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s, construction of the dam began in 1960 and was completed in 1968. It was officially inaugurated in 1971 and considered the biggest achievement in the modern history of Egypt. Get excited by enjoying the fascinating views of the High Dam, as this huge building is 1 km wide, 3.5 km in length and 111m tall, this majestic dam is also containing a Hydro-electric plant which includes six turbines and able to provide 2.1 million kilowatt, this project was the perfect solution because of the loss and damaging that Egypt had witnessed, especially the monuments which are located in Nubian villages. As a result of its construction, a great lake was formed, Lake Nasser, which is about 10 km wide in some places, and 500km long. The dam is only about a 15-minute drive south of Aswan so a visit is easy even if your time in the city is limited. The dam powers twelve generators each rated at 175 megawatts, producing a hydroelectric output of 2.1 gigawatts. Power generation began in 1967. When the dam first reached peak output it produced around half of Egypt’s entire electricity production (about 15% by 1998) and allowed for the connection of most Egyptian villages to electricity for the first time.

With Aswan Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk Tour you will get to visit Philae Temple which contains many ancient Egyptian sanctuaries and shrines as it was built during the Ptolemy’s dynasty and dedicated for the worshiping of the ancient Egyptian god Osiris. This complex was actually one of the last remaining places where the ancient religion survived after the arrival of Christianity in Egypt. The temple was reconstructed in its current location after the building of the High Dam that threatened the site so the Egyptian government started a huge project to rebuild the temple in its current location at Philae Island. Philae is dedicated to Isis - the Goddess of motherhood, magic and fertility. As symbolic mother of the king, she appears as a woman with a throne-shaped crown, or sometimes depicted with the sign of motherhood and fertility. The cult of Isis at Philae goes back to the 7th century BC, but the earliest remains date from the 4th century BC and Isis was being worshipped at Philae until the 6th century AD. The temple contains many ancient Egyptian sanctuaries and shrines as it was built during the Ptolemy’s dynasty, stare at the amazement of The Kiosk of Trajan, feel ravishing while explore the Chapel of Osiris. This sacred site was venerated from the Pharaonic era up to the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods with each ruler adding their own stamp onto the stones here.

Get excited with Aswan Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk Tour and then move to explore the Unfinished Obelisk which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks, it also was constructed by Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. Supposed to be the biggest part of Egyptian masonry, but it wasn’t completed because it was broken at the middle. Had this obelisk been completed, it would have been the heaviest obelisk ever cut in Ancient Egypt, weighing nearly 1100 tons; it is 42m in length. The Unfinished Obelisk lies, in its original location, in a granite quarry in Aswan. Initially, this obelisk was attempted to be carved out of the bedrock of granite, but the whole project had to be left incomplete, when few cracks were noticed in the granite. The base of the obelisk is still attached to the bedrock of this granite quarry of Aswan. Now no one is sure about the exact reason of the formation of these cracks, but probably the digging out procedure of the granite might have caused these fissures. This obelisk provides much information about the stone-carving procedures of ancient Egyptians, as the scratches of their instruments can still be seen clearly on its rock surface.

Explore Aswan Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk Tour

Flying Carpet Tours guide will escort you to an astonishing trip to beguile your eyes with the High Dam and its smart engineering, it was built in 1960, to protect Egypt from the annual flooding of the Nile, then Go on a fancy tour to the Unfinished Obelisk, which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to cut obelisks, it also was constructed by Queen Hatshepsut, one of the rulers of the 18th dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II.

Aswan Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk Tour

Escape from the cold weather and the daily routine of the winter and experience warmness and beauty of Aswan Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk Tour, where you will get the best excursions in one of the most enchanting cities in Egypt, it is a different society with their own traditions, language and culture.

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.

At a late stage in the process, however, a flaw appeared, so it lies where the disappointed stonemasons abandoned it, still partly attached to the parent rock.

Upon entering the quarry, steps lead down into the pit of the obelisk, where there are ancient pictographs of dolphins and ostriches or flamingos, thought to have been painted by workers at the quarry. The Northern Quarries are about 1.5km from town, opposite the Fatimid Cemetery. Microbuses will drop you within a few minutes' walk.
