Philae Temple
我我是水晶The temple of Phylea is located in Aswan, Egypt, which was built on the island of Phylea in the south Nile river in Aswan City, and is dedicated to the goddess of love, Isis. The temples seen today are not at the original site. After the Aswan Dam was built to store water, the temples were almost completely submerged. Since 1972, the Egyptian government has built a fence around the temple, draining the river from the river, and then demolishing the temple into more than 45,000 stones and more than 100 stone pillars. Moved to Aegika Island 500 meters north of Philae Island as it is, and then opened to the world.

Elephantine
AAricFongThere are two small piers to go to Koh Chang, one of which is at the entrance "next to" KFC. The 5 pounds you pay is already the round trip fare, so you don't need to pay when you return to the other side [Proud] This is a small island Nubi Where Nubia lives, there are B&Bs, high-end hotels, coffee shops and attractions on the island, which can be visited in half a day. We walked around for about half a day, but we couldn't find the way to the Movenpick Hotel [sad] But it's okay anyway, come to Koh Chang when you come to Aswan and visit Koh Chang.

Nubian Museum
爱爱吃巧克力的小小可爱Learn about the development of the Nubian region from prehistoric times to the present day. At the entrance to the museum, there is a large model of the Nile Valley, marking the locations of the main temples. The museum also specifically demonstrates the changes in the Nile River and the process of relocating the affected monuments in the dam area when the Aswan Dam was built.
Unfinished Obelisk
Iivanstrips (YouTube)This attraction is not large and 30 minutes is enough to visit it. The biggest attractions are the 4,000-year-old quarry and the world's largest obelisk from 3,500 years ago. Walk from the Nile River to the unfinished obelisk less than 20 minutes, but the Google navigation route is wrong ❌. The place you finally walked to is a residential area. The ticket office is on the main road near the museum. You can refer to my markings on the Google map, or you can use Google Map to search the location coordinates 📍24°04’38.8”N 32°53‘39.7“E📍 This is the specific location of the ticket office. I hope it helps you. More travel information, please check my YouTube channel @ivanstrips
