This feat of engineering is truly overwhelming, with a length of 3600 meters, a base thickness of 980 meters, and a height of 111 meters at its highest point. The world's largest man-made lake, Lake Nasser, is held back by this dam, providing irrigation water and electricity for all of Egypt. Afterward, travel 13 kilometers south of Aswan to visit the beautiful Philae Temple, dedicated to Isis, is a stunning ancient Egyptian site located on Agilkia Island in the Nile.

Situated in the northern area of the stone quarries of ancient Egypt in Aswan, the Unfinished Obelisk is recognized as the most extensive known ancient obelisk. Historians assert that the female pharaoh Hatshepsut authorized its construction. Nevertheless, contemporary engineers have raised concerns about the technical proficiency of the Dynastic Egyptians to accomplish such a remarkable feat.
