Take a private tour to see a modern and an ancient engineering marvel in Aswan when you visit the High Dam and
Unfinished Obelisk. See two of Egypt’s engineering wonders with the incredible Unfinished Obelisk lying exactly as it fell,
and the world famous engineering miracle that is the High Dam.
Aswan is the ancient city of Swenet, which in antiquity was the frontier town of Ancient Egypt facing the south. Swenet is
supposed to have derived its name from an Egyptian goddess with the same name. This goddess later was identified as
Eileithyia by the Greeks and Lucina by the Romans during their occupation of Ancient Egypt because of the similar
association of their goddesses with childbirth, and of which the import is “the opener”. The ancient name of the city also is
said to be derived from the Egyptian symbol for trade.
Because the Ancient Egyptians oriented toward the origin of the life-giving waters of the Nile in the south, Swenet was the
first town in the country, and Egypt always was conceived to “open” or begin at Swenet.[citation needed] The city stood
upon a peninsula on the right (east) bank of the Nile, immediately below (and north of) the first cataract of the flowing
waters, which extend to it from Philae. Navigation to the delta was possible from this location without encountering a
barrier.
The stone quarries of ancient Egypt located here were celebrated for their stone, and especially for the granitic rock called
Syenite. They furnished the colossal statues, obelisks, and monolithal shrines that are found throughout Egypt, including
the pyramids; and the traces of the quarrymen who wrought in these 3,000 years ago are still visible in the native rock.
They lie on either bank of the Nile, and a road, four miles (6 km) in length, was cut beside them from Syene to Philae.
Swenet was equally important as a military station as that of a place of traffic. Under every dynasty it was a garrison town;
and here tolls and customs were levied on all boats passing southwards and northwards. Around AD 330, the legion
stationed here received a bishop from Alexandria; this later became the Coptic Diocese of Syene. The city is mentioned by
numerous ancient writers, including Herodotus, Strabo, Stephanus of Byzantium,Ptolemy, Pliny the Elder, De architectura,
and it appears on the Antonine Itinerary. It also is mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Isaiah.
Nile Cruises are the most important way through which we can feel better of the crude smell of Egypt. As most of the
monuments are closer to the River Nile, Cruises were the best solution for a trip that allows tourists to enjoy the beautiful
nature of the Egyptian countryside while visiting monument of our ancient civilization.Nile cruises travel between Luxor to
Aswan and vice versa.
The distance from Cairo to Luxor is 671km, and the distance from Cairo to Aswan is 879 km.for now there is no Nile Cruise
