Our representative will pick you up from the hotel, first, you will visit The unfinished obelisk is the largest obelisk from ancient Egypt. As it’s nearly one-third larger than any obelisk ever erected.

The obelisk offers deep insights into ancient Egyptian stone-working techniques. Besides the unfinished obelisk, an unfinished partly worked obelisk base was discovered in 2005 at the quarries of Aswan. All these quarries and the unfinished objects are an open-air museum considered as an archeological site.

When the temple was flooded by the Nile River, the temple was divided and reassembled in a new location above Agilkia Island.

You can enjoy a boat trip towards this island and take a look at it the whole time from the outside. Going into the temple you’ll be able to see the enormity of the building and its huge pillars which carry stunning decorations and inscriptions.
