Mausoleum of the Aga Khan

Upriver a bit is the tomb of Mohammed Shah Aga Khan who died in 1957.
Known as the Tomb of the Aga Khan, it is beautiful in its simplicity

The unfinished obelisk

This unfinished obelisk in a granite quarry in Aswan provides insight into the extraordinary manual effort behind royal building projects. This obelisk, which is 137 feet/41.7 meters long and 14 feet/4.2 meters at its widest, was abandoned when it developed a crack. This geographical area was an ancient Egyptian source for pink and gray granite.
