Aswan’s three essential sights in one private morning or afternoon. The Aswan High Dam, one of the great engineering projects of the 20th century, which created Lake Nasser. The Unfinished Obelisk, abandoned in its granite quarry when it cracked — had it been finished, it would have been the largest obelisk ever raised. And Philae, the island temple of Isis, reached by motorboat and known as the Pearl of the Nile.
