Unfinished Obeliskfrom ₹2,75,000

Unfinished Obelisk

The Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan, Egypt, stands as a testament to ancient craftsmanship and ambition. Carved directly from bedrock, this colossal monument was intended to be one of the largest obelisks ever erected. However, due to a crack discovered during its construction, the project was abandoned, leaving the obelisk partially finished. Despite its incomplete state, it provides invaluable insights into the techniques and tools used by ancient Egyptians in quarrying and sculpting stone. Today, visitors marvel at its sheer size and imagine the grandeur it would have embodied had it been completed, making it a fascinating archaeological site in Aswan.

Booked: Egyptian Odyssey with Hurghada | Group Tour Package

Travelling to Egypt with my friends group was something we had been planning for a while, and this package made the whole process simple. The mix of Cairo's history and Hurghada's beaches worked really well for our group as we got temples, the Nile, and snorkelling in the Red Sea all in one trip. Thrillophilia handled the coordination really well, which matters a lot when you are travelling in a group.

Booked: Ancient Gems of Egypt | Group Tour Package

My Mumbai group had an absolute blast riding camels across the Giza plateau. The pyramids are much larger than they look in movies! Thrillophilia made sure we had a reliable guide who protected us from the pushy vendors.

Booked: Egyptian Odyssey with Hurghada | Group Tour Package

Traveling from Bangalore, I was worried about the logistics, but everything from the airport pickup to the hotel check-ins was smooth. The عظمت of the Great Pyramid is something no camera can fully capture. Ajay from Thrillophilia was very proactive in keeping us informed.
