Start your tour by visiting
the High Dam, an engineering miracle built in 1960 that protects Egypt from
annual floods from the Nile.
•
Proceed to visit the
unfinished Obelisk, which shows the techniques used by the ancient Egyptians to
cut stone. Most probably this obelisk belongs to Queen Hatshepsut, one of the
rulers of the 18th Dynasty and the royal wife of king Tuthmosis II. This queen
was the owner of her Temple in the Eastern bank of Luxor. Other opinions
support that the obelisk belongs to Queen Nefertiti.

the island.
