Memorable Tour

In all, our tour was wonderful. Our tour guide Maggie was wonderful and very informative. The High Dam might not be the biggest dam in the world, but to see the artificial lake in the middle of the desert was just stunning. The Philae Temple is beautiful. The boat ride was short but a nice experience. The Unfinished obelisk is a different story. By itself, it might not be very attractive (that would explained why not all tours offer it) but in the context of human history-around 1508-1458 BC, it is simply amazing.

La excursión al templo de Philae, al obelisco inacabado y ala represa de Asuan no pueden faltar en el viaje a Egipto; la represa es una muestra grandiosa de la ingenieria que muestra como el hombre puede transformar la naturaleza para el beneficio de los pueblos.
