A modern marvel, the Aswan High Dam was built in the 1960s during President Gamal Abdel Nasser’s era. It significantly impacted Egypt's economy and environment by controlling Nile flooding and generating hydroelectric power.
Located in the granite quarries of Aswan, this massive ancient obelisk—commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut—was abandoned when cracks appeared during its carving. Had it been completed, it would have stood 42 meters tall and weighed over 1,200 tons.
Dedicated to the goddess Isis, Philae Temple is one of Egypt's most beautiful temples. Originally located on Philae Island, it was relocated to Agilkia Island to protect it from the rising waters of the Nile. The temple's intricate carvings and mythological significance make it a must-see.

These awe-inspiring temples were built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC. The main temple is famously aligned so that twice a year, sunlight illuminates the inner sanctuary's statues, including Ramses II and the gods Amun-Ra, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah. The second temple is dedicated to his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. The complex was relocated in the 1960s to save it from flooding caused by the Aswan High Dam.
