This colossal structure holds an astonishing 43,000,000 cubic meters of materials, stretching about 4,000 meters in length and 980 meters in width at its base. Remarkably, it can regulate the flow of water at a rate of about 11,000 cubic meters per second through its 180 sluice gates, serving the purpose of flood control.
During your excursions in Aswan, you'll be transported to the granite quarries that once supplied the ancient Egyptians with the stone blocks used in constructing the awe-inspiring pyramids and temples.

Next, your driver and guide will lead you to one of the masterpieces of ancient Egypt, the Temple of Goddess Isis, also known as the Temple of Philae.
