Our next stop will be the Unfinished Obelisk, where we can learn about the fascinating history of ancient Egyptian obelisk incision techniques. According to historical accounts, this obelisk is believed to have belonged to Queen Hatshepsut, a highly regarded figure during the eighteenth dynasty and the partner of King Tuthmosis II. In Luxor, on the eastern bank, there is a temple called Al Deir El-Bahari that is believed to have been owned by Queen Hatshepsut.

Next, we'll explore the awe-inspiring Philae Temple, a remarkable structure dedicated to the goddess Isis, one of Egypt's most revered gods.
The Philae Temple, also known as the Phaila Temple, was moved in the 1960s because of the construction of the Aswan High Dam. This temple is famous for its remarkably preserved reliefs and structures, which beautifully display the ancient Egyptian architecture and religious symbolism.
