| Visit the High Dam, crossing the original
barrage over the First Cataract, and stop to look at the magnificent and
impressive Unfinished Obelisk. For most, the highlight is a motor boat ride to
the romantic Temple of Philae, dedicated to the Gods Isis and Osiris. A
beautiful temple in a spectacular setting on the waters of the Nile.

| The Nubian Museum is one of the most
attractive buildings in Aswan and is a celebration of Nubian history and
culture from its earliest beginnings until the building of the modern High Dam.
Opened in November 1997, the museum houses a spectacular collection of ancient
artifacts including a magnificent statue of King Taharqa, the first Nubian to
rule Egypt.
