Highlights
- Aswan High Dam - The High Dam of Aswan is an engineering miracle when it was built in the 1960s. Containing more material than used in the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Dam is 11,811 ft long, 3215 ft thick at the base, 364 ft tall and is carved into from the existing granite, providing irrigation and electricity for the whole of Egypt. From the top of the High Dam you can gaze across Lake Nasser to Kalabsha temple in the south and the huge power station to the north.

It’s amazing what they did!!! - We were just amazed by the fact that they moved piece by piece this huge, beautiful temple from a near by island to this other one with a higher altitud because it was getting destroyed by the Nile floods. What a job was that!!!
We also enjoyed very much seeing the unfinished obelisk and visited the Aswan dam. The whole experience was terrific!
