 The Unfinished Obelisk is an enormous ancient obelisk located in a granite quarry in Aswan. It was abandoned during construction, making it an interesting archaeological site. The obelisk gives visitors a glimpse into the ancient Egyptian techniques used to carve these monumental structures, providing insights into the ancient quarrying and sculpting methods.

During the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II, the ancient Egyptian temple known as the Temple of Beit El-Wali was constructed in Lower Nubia. It is mainly devoted to the deified form of Ramesses II, displaying his military might and triumphs over the Nubians. The temple features a hypostyle hall, sanctuary, and forecourt with intricate reliefs and inscriptions that describe his military exploits and relationship with the gods. Its exquisitely carved reliefs, which are in good condition, shed light on his military tactics, cultural customs, and religious beliefs. The temple was moved to its present site because of the risk of submersion posed by the Aswan High Dam.
