Next, you'll explore granite quarries and the Unfinished Obelisk site, testifying to the genius of Egypt's stonemasons.

These are twin temples -- Ramses II and Queen Nefertari -- standing in Abu Simbel. The former is one of the imposing temples with a façade decorated by four 70-foot-high seated images of the pharaoh. Even more amazing is the fact that this whole site was dismantled and relocated to its current position from its original site, which was to be submerged as a result of the flooding by the Aswan High Dam.
Take a cruise to Kom Ombo, visiting the Greco-Roman temples of Haroeris and Sobek. These gods were worshiped by the ancient Egyptians; in fact, according to legend, Sobek was the god who created the world.
