After breakfast, departure for the Temple of Isis on the island of Philae. Begun by Pharaoh... more+ Nectanebo I during Dynasty 30 and completed by the Romans, this is the main sanctuary dedicated to Isis. After Philae, the visit continues with the High Dam and the unfinished obelisk. The Aswan region, rich in schist, alabaster and pink granite found only in this part of Egypt, provided the stone blocks for the pyramids, statues and colossi built by the pharaohs. In the granite quarry you'll find the tallest obelisk known to date (41.75m), which was abandoned due to a crack in the rock. Return to the boat for lunch, then take a felucca ride around Elephantine Island, once a fortress, and discover the local shops. In the evening, optional sound and light show at Philaé temple.

The Unfinished Obelisk of Aswan is an impressive remnant located in an ancient granite quarry in Upper Egypt. Commissioned during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, it was intended to be the largest obelisk ever constructed, reaching about 42 meters in height and... more+ weighing an estimated 1,200 tons. However, a crack that appeared during the carving process halted the work, leaving the monument incomplete and still attached to the bedrock.
Today, the site provides a unique insight into the working methods of ancient Egyptian stonecutters. Visitors can observe extraction techniques, tool marks, and the monumental logistics involved in creating such structures.
