The Unfinished Obelisk in the high-quality granite quarries in South of Aswan was carved by Queen Hatshepsut. Queen Hatshepsut aimed for this obelisk to be stood in Karnak Temple as the largest obelisk ever carved, but her target hadn’t been achieved because of the joints appeared along the obelisk during carving it. The obelisk was left in the quarries where it was being carved. This Unfinished Obelisk provides precious information about the techniques, methods, and ways of stone-cutting in ancient Egypt.

What travellers say after touring Egypt with us.
I went with my family on this trip for twelve days. The agency was very respectful with our preferences and budget. The transport was scheduled and we got the opportunity to visit various monuments along a marvelous guide called Ahmed Nasser.
Egypt tour group handled our 12 day tour perfectly. I can’t say enough of how all the arrangements we set up from the moment we got to Cairo airport there was always someone there to meet us. We transferred through 2 airports 4 cities and mutable hotels and never had to wait.
Excellent tour company! We did three tours. One day touring some of the Pyramids, a day trip to Alexandria and an epic 2 day trip from Cairo to Sinai to climb Mount Sinai. Excellent tour company!
Marian was absolutely wonderful!! She was a wealth of knowledge . She guided us to important parts of each temple and tomb.Letting us know what the meaning for the particular inscription.
