Go to the High Dam. It was built in the 1960s. Its job was to control the Nile’s flood surges and also make power for Egypt.  

Discover the Unfinished Obelisk  
Then visit the Unfinished Obelisk. It is an old work that was never finished. The reason was a problem in the granite. Even left incomplete, it shows the craft of ancient stone workers.  

Visit Philae Temple
