未完成方尖碑与努比亚博物馆之旅

The Unfinished Obelisk lies in the ancient granite quarries of Aswan, still partly attached to the bedrock it was carved from. Believed commissioned during the reign of Hatshepsut, it would have stood roughly 42 meters tall and weighed over 1,000 tonnes, making it the largest obelisk ever attempted in ancient Egypt, before cracks in the stone forced its abandonment.

The Nubian Museum in Aswan opened in 1997 as part of UNESCO's campaign to document and preserve Nubian heritage threatened by the Aswan High Dam's floodwaters. Designed by Egyptian architect Mahmoud El-Hakim in a style echoing traditional Nubian architecture, it won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2001 and houses artifacts spanning Nubian history from prehistory to the present.

两处真正引人入胜的景点,大多数行程只顾阿布辛贝和菲莱神庙而完全略过它们。

导游会深入讲解两处景点背后的工程技术与历史,而非只是匆匆拍照。
