    I have just returned from my trip to Aswan Dam, which is not only an outstanding feat of engineering, but also a profound reflection of Egyptian history and culture. Standing on the dam, I felt as if I could feel the ancient legends and stories that flowed through the Nile beneath it. The service of the visitor center was also very attentive, with detailed information and comfortable seating area. Definitely recommended to every traveler to Egypt, not to be missed!

    The experience of visiting the Edo Temple exceeded all my expectations! Stepping into this majestic temple, as if through time and space, every stone carving and mural reveals a strong historical atmosphere. I was completely struck by the grandeur and exquisiteness of the temple. Every corner here tells ancient stories, and one can't help but pay tribute to the ancient Egyptian civilization, which is a touch of the soul.

    This attraction is not large and 30 minutes is enough to visit it. The biggest attractions are the 4,000-year-old quarry and the world's largest obelisk from 3,500 years ago. Walk from the Nile River to the unfinished obelisk less than 20 minutes, but the Google navigation route is wrong ❌. The place you finally walked to is a residential area. The ticket office is on the main road near the museum. You can refer to my markings on the Google map, or you can use Google Map to search the location coordinates 📍24°04’38.8”N 32°53‘39.7“E📍 This is the specific location of the ticket office.

    There are two small piers to go to Koh Chang, one of which is at the entrance "next to" KFC. The 5 pounds you pay is already the round trip fare, so you don't need to pay when you return to the other side [Proud] This is a small island Nubi Where Nubia lives, there are B&Bs, high-end hotels, coffee shops and attractions on the island, which can be visited in half a day. We walked around for about half a day, but we couldn't find the way to the Movenpick Hotel [sad] But it's okay anyway, come to Koh Chang when you come to Aswan and visit Koh Chang.

    The Kalabsa Temple is a very small temple in Aswan. Although it is not very big, the sculptures in front of the temple are well preserved. The lighting in the temple is not very good, and you need to use a flashlight or candle to enter, which adds a lot of mystery.
