About Unfinished Obelisk
The Unfinished Obelisk is one of Aswan’s most fascinating archaeological sites, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at ancient Egyptian stone-carving techniques. Located in the granite quarries of Aswan, this colossal monument was abandoned when cracks appeared in the stone during construction.
Had it been completed, it would have been the largest obelisk ever erected in ancient Egypt. Today, it remains partially attached to the bedrock, allowing visitors to clearly see tool marks and carving methods used over 3,000 years ago.
Walking around the site gives powerful insight into the scale of ancient engineering and the incredible skill of Egypt’s craftsmen — making it a must-see stop for history lovers and curious travelers alike.
