Aswan High Dam
Gaze at this colossal feat of modern engineering built in the 1960s to control the Nile's floods. The dam is 3,600 metres long and created Lake Nasser, one of the world's largest artificial lakes.
Philae Temple
Board a motorboat to reach the island temple complex of Philae, dedicated to the goddess Isis. Walk through halls and courtyards and learn how this remarkable temple was moved stone by stone to its present island location to prevent submersion in Lake Nasser.
