The Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut Such a great majestic temple is the closest one to the classical architecture of ancient Egypt.

The great of High Dam is one of the most interesting modern Egyptian achievements in Egypt as it provides water for irrigation for around 33600 km² of land and this mainly served in providing the irrigation needs for both Egypt and Sudan plus the fact that it controlled flooding, assisted in improving navigation across the Nile, and most importantly helped in generating power.
The Unfinished Obelisk could have been one of the most interesting achievements of Queen Hatshepsut who ordered her workers to construct it to commemorate a person, event or to honor a god just like why obelisks were used to be built but unfortunately the project wasn’t completed as many cracks were discovered on it so it left since then till our current time in Aswan.
To complete your best adventure in Aswan, you would definitely head to Philae Temple which was built during the reign of Ptolemy II and was dedicated to a collection of gods & goddesses who were Isis, her husband, and their son Horus. On the walls of the temple, there are some scenes from the ancient Egyptian mythology in which goddess Isis was bringing Osiris back to life in addition to some other scenes of mummifying Osiris after his death and goddess Isis giving birth to her child so it is a must visited site.

Today we have day tours - I love Karnak even some has destroyed but still beautiful. Then the valley temple - the story the culture of Egyptian amaze me. We have pretty tour leader Nermeen. Our lunch also so delicious.
I used this company to book my tours for my trip to Egypt. The company provided excellent communications and clear itineraries. Our first was a two day tour of Cairo, and a two day trips from Aswan.
My friend & I have just returned from a fab week in Hurghada. We wanted to book a day trip to Luxor at £94, but ended up booking a the overnight trip to Luxor as it was only £10 more! The trip exceeded our expections because of the fascinating temples, the overnight stay on the Nile & our fabulous & very knowledgeable tour guide (Mahmoud A-B).
