High Dam  
The High Dam sits at the north edge of Egypt, near the border with Sudan. It is a rock fill dam. Water comes from the River Nile, and the dam created Lake Nasser. Plans began in 1960. The main works finished in 1968. The opening took place in 1971.

Unfinished obelisk  
Aswan supplied granite that ancient Egypt prized. That stone was used for statues and for decoration on temples, pyramids, and obelisks. The quarry has a large obelisk that was never finished. It helps explain how these monuments were made, but many parts of the method are still not fully understood. The shaft is about 42 m long. Three sides were shaped, but the inscriptions were left out. If it had been finished, it would have weighed 1168 tonnes, making it the heaviest stone piece the Egyptians are thought to have created.
