In the morning you will be accompanied by your guide from your hotel with a private A/C vehicle to visit:
Built by the orders of president Gamal Abdu El Nasser between 1960 and 1970, The High Dam is located across the Nile River south of Aswan city. The dam was constructed to prevent ad control Nile flooding as well as generating hydroelectricity. The view from the top of the dam is unforgettable and breathtaking scenery.
By the orders of Queen Hatshepsut, The Unfinished Obelisk should be the tallest Obelisk in Egypt with a height of 42m (138ft), but unfortunately, the project stopped after a crack was discovered in the obelisk stone. So it is still at the old quarries of the city.
