Aswan - Granite Quarries
To the southeast of the town are the ancient granite quarries from which the Egyptians obtained the fine reddish Aswan granite for their buildings and statues.
From the quarries a massive causeway (still in use today) ran down to Aswan to facilitate the transport of the huge blocks to the banks of the Nile.
