It was largely financed and supervised by the Soviet Union.
Proceed to visit the magnificent Greco Roman Temple of the goddess Isis; the chief deity of the island using a small motorboat to get there.
Then, to the unfinished Obelisk, about 40 meters in length and 1000 tons, which is considered to be the longest and the heaviest obelisk ever cut in Egypt, most probably belongs to the famous queen Hatshepsut.
