Aswan, a must-see attraction in Egypt.

Introduction of tourist attractions in Egypt (IV) Aswan is the capital of Aswan province and the cleanest and most beautiful city in Egypt. It is an important place for Egypt to trade with other African countries and the gateway to Sudan. It is located on the east bank under the "first waterfall" of the Nile in the southeast, 900 kilometers away from Cairo. Historically, it was the gateway to Nubia in southern Egypt and the intersection of water transport and camel caravan. In ancient Egypt, it was a trade center with Sudan and Ethiopia.

Feilai temple

Philae Island is in the south of Aswan 15km, with a length of 450m and a width of 150m. Known as the "pearl on the throne of the ancient Egyptian king", the ancient Egyptian temple was built on Philae Island, a small island in the Nile River south of Aswan, and is famous for its splendid and peculiar architecture, stone carvings and vivid fairy tales on relief stones.

1902, when Aswan Low Dam intercepted the Nile, it was partially submerged. After a high dam was built in the south of Philae Island in 1960s, the temple was almost completely submerged. In order to protect these precious cultural relics from being destroyed, the Egyptian government began to build cofferdams around the temples in 1972 to drain the water in the cofferdams. Then, these temples were divided into more than 45,000 stones and 100 columns, and were rebuilt as they were in August 1 979 on Aghilkea Island, about1km from Philae Island. On March 1980 and 10, the temple of Philae was officially reopened at its new site. One of the oldest temples of King Niktanib II was built at the beginning of the 4th century. The largest temple is called the Aegean Temple, which was built by Ptolemy II King Ferratius.

Ancient quarry

There is an ancient Egyptian quarry just two kilometers from downtown Aswan. The quarry is built along the Nile and is about 6 kilometers long. When you enter the quarry, you enter the world of granite.

The quality of stone in Aswan area is good, the color is mostly agate red with small black spots, and the stone body is smooth and shiny. Even in modern times, it is a luxury building decoration material. On the quarry site, if you look closely, you can see that there are cut grooves in the rock wall. It is said that the stones in ancient Egypt were all mined from Aswan and transported by water to meet the construction needs on both sides of the Nile.

There is a famous scenic spot in the quarry site-the unfinished obelisk. Across the quarry, this huge obelisk is 4 1 m long and weighs 1267 tons. It was originally built by Queen Hatshepsut. If this obelisk is erected, it will be the largest obelisk in Egypt. There are ladders in the scenic area, and visitors can climb the monument and meditate on the mystery of why the obelisk has not been transported away from here.

World-famous obelisks, such as Place de la Concorde in Paris and St. Peter's Cathedral Square in Rome, all have traces of looting obelisks from Egypt. They seem to appear in pictures of newspapers and magazines more often than the local obelisks in Egypt.

However, the largest obelisk in the world sits quietly in the granite beside the Nile in Egypt. Different from the obelisk we saw in the temple, it only completed the process of cutting stones, and along the uncut picture, it has a quaint charm. Several cracks have been formed in the monument, and history seems to be as heavy as this boulder, which makes the human beings who create history overwhelmed.

Abu Simbel

Abu Simpo Temple is located 280 kilometers south of Aswan and was built in BC 1300 BC 1233. It was built by Ramses II, the greatest Pharaoh in ancient Egypt, and it is also the most protected relic of the Pharaoh era of the new empire. This temple is 30m high, 36m wide and 60m deep. In front of the temple, there are four huge Ramses statues, each 20 meters high, next to their mother, wife and children. They are lifelike and still intact after more than 3000 years of wind erosion.
