Aswan Excursions
Start your tour by visiting the Philae temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, which was once set on a holy island in the Nile River, the site of many pilgrimages. Visit the temple to learn about the temple's history and Isis, an essential goddess in ancient times, if you think of the stages of planning and carrying out the work of the great Obelisks before these monuments were erected. The Unfinished Obelisk is an opportunity to consider what this process might have been like and how difficult it was to shape and carve the great stone blocks that makeup Egypt's many monuments. This giant obelisk would have stood 140 feet, the largest in Egypt.
