Aswan is located in southern Egypt, the train travelled along the Nile, roadside oasis is patchy farmland, Nile, from time to time in the car side a small face open, distance is khaki cliffs, said the Nile is the mother River of Egypt was worthy, not the entire territory of the Nile, Egypt would be desert, God to each person, each country is fair.

Noon, the heat, the southern city of indeed and Cairo.

08 Horus Hotal, the River is like an island of high tower. Twin room-bathroom 60LE/day. The room is on the Nile, you can clearly see the River drift boat. But the boss is a bit of color smilingly, uncomfortable. And locals of enemy for a long time, finally in Hotel recommended travel agencies set up after two days of tour: afternoon unfinished Obelisk Aswan High Dam bafile Temple 40LE/4 tomorrow Abu usimbe 45LE/person.

Aswan city has an ancient quarries, a huge unfinished Obelisk, transverse lie here three sides of the Obelisk has been completed, only the first four dug and found a bug, so was abandoned, if completed, it is the tallest Obelisk Egypt.

Standing in the quarries of high seat, opposite a large Muslim graveyard, don't know if there are also thousands of years.

Nile flooded every year several thousand years, and downstream to hypertrophy of sludge generation.

Later, United Kingdom and the Government of Egypt in 1898 and 1960 here built two dams proliferation Nile never formed the upper reaches of up to 500 kilometres of Lake Nasser. In the 1960s, the construction of the second High Dam in China's Three Gorges Dam uncompleted, is the world's largest dams, Egypt people are proud of. But now the generation to for example climate change, the decline in soil fertility. I really don't know what human so change nature is a blessing or a curse. Dam-look there is nothing special, the vast desert, the blue Nasser Lake make people feel extremely refreshing.

ToFile Zhong Temple is located on the Nile River dam upstream, waves of an island, after you have bought tickets but also by boat to get to, I don't know what people think of Egypt, the Government just tickets regardless of ticket, continue to drive a hard bargain, 20LE/4 people on the boat.

Boat on the Nile water to the Blue Lagoon Island, along the beautiful, is worthy of the "pearls" in Egypt. In the first temple built dams, flooded part, visitors can take a boat to watch phytotoxicity Temple temple doors and stone columns. The second dam is completed, the Temple will be completely submerged, and the Government of Egypt decided the monuments on the island over to another island, also of its original features. Even rearrange the scenery on this small island looks and FileMon island. It is said that the whole project is very vast, sank in the partially built around the Temple of a stone embankment, the water pump, then splitting the temple into a block, a 45,000 number is then in position to reassemble. So far the temple wall still was flooded.

Apollo was touched by the prayer of Isis, the Osiris resurrection. their son is the Eagle God Horus. Horus grew up as the parent of revenge, kill the set. People in the head when Osiris is accumulation of Filemon Island built the temple.
