It houses a rare collection of over 250,000 genuine artifacts dating back as far as 5000 years, including an exclusive exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen—a collection of treasures, gold, and jewelry that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before being discovered in 1920 when his tomb was excavated.

The Aswan High Dam is a rock-fill dam located at the northern border between Egypt and Sudan. The dam is fed by the River Nile, and the reservoir forms Lake Nasser. Construction began in 1960 and was completed in 1968. It was officially inaugurated in 1971.

Unfinished Obelisk - Unfinished Obelisk:
Aswan was the source of ancient Egypt’s finest granite, used to make statues and embellish temples, pyramids, and obelisks. The large unfinished obelisk in the Northern Quarries has provided valuable insight into how these monuments were created, although the full construction process is still not entirely clear. Three sides of the shaft, nearly 42 meters long, were completed except for the inscriptions. At 1,168 tonnes, the completed obelisk would have been the single heaviest piece of stone the Egyptians ever fashioned.

The descriptions on the walls include the myth of the contending of Horus and Seth, probably performed annually as a religious drama.

Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari - The Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
Rising out of the desert plain in a series of terraces, the Temple of Hatshepsut merges with the sheer limestone cliffs of the eastern face of the Theban Mountain as if nature herself had built this extraordinary monument.

Temple of Karnak - Karnak Temple:
Karnak is more than a temple; it is a spectacular complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons, and obelisks, all dedicated to the Theban gods and to the greater glory of Egypt’s Pharaohs. Karnak was the most important place for the worship of the Theban Triad (Amun, Mut, and Khonsu).
