Stop At: Unfinished Obelisk, Sheyakhah Oula, Aswan Egypt
>The 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 42m long, were completed except for the inscriptions. At 1168 tonnes, the completed obelisk would have been the single heaviest piece of stone the Egyptians ever fashioned.

Wir sind mit einem Auto von Marsa Alam nach Luxor, dann nach Assuan und Abu Simbel. Die Tour ist absolut lohnenswert. Die Guides (Tour war auf Deutsch) waren sehr sympathisch und glänzten mit umfassendem Fachwissen. Auch der Fahrer war immer pünktlich und wir fühlten uns trotz langer Fahrzeit immer sicher aufgehoben. Die besichtigten Stätten sind der Hammer, wenn man sich für die ägyptische Geschichte interessiert. Auf der Fahrt nach Abu Simbel gibt es noch Saharafeeling inkl. Fata Morganas :) Auch die Hotels waren sehr gut gewählt und weisen einen hohen Standart aus. Hinweise und Kritik: 1. Die Fahrzeit von Marsa Alam ist sehr lang. Die Strassen sind nicht immer gut ausgebaut. Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass man viel Zeit im Auto verbringt. 2. Die Zeit bei den Ausgrabungsstätten ist eher knapp berechnet. Vor allem am ersten Tag fühlten wir uns immer etwas unter Zeitdruck. Das ist aber sicher individuell verschieden. Wir sind eher interessiert und nehmen uns gerne Zeit. 3. Was uns nicht gefallen hat, waren die zwei "Handwerksbesichtigungen". Vor allem negativ in Erinnerung bleibt die Besichtigung der Alabasterwerkstatt nach dem Tal der Könige. Viel gelernt hat man nicht. Man wollte uns vor allem Dinge zum Kauf aufdrengen. Das war unserer Meinung nach unwürdig für eine sonst so hochstehende Führung. Trotzdem gibt es 5 Sterne. Eine wirklich eindrückliche und erlebnisreiche Tour. Gerade bei einem Tauchurlaub bietet diese Tour eine hervorragende Abwechslung.escapadeville

Même si le trajet en voiture est un peu long (7 heures environ) jusqu'à Assouan, cela en vaut vraiment la peine ! En particulier, Abou Simbel & le temple de Philae. Et bien sûr, la ville d'Assouan, toujours aussi magique et romantique ! Remerciements au guide très pro, qui a su rendre vivante et passionnante l'histoire de l'ancienne Egypte. Et une mention toute spéciale pour les services attentionnés et l'extrême qualité de conduite de notre chauffeur Ahmed ! Bravo & merci pour cette superbe excursion !
