Trajans Kiosk, Aswan, Egypt

Trajan's Kiosk, is one of the largest Ancient Egyptian monuments standing today at the island of Agilkia. It was originally built at the island of Philae (near the lower Aswan Dam) but transported to Agilika in the 1960s by UNESCO to save it from being enveloped by the rising waters of the Nile due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.This 15-x-20 metre kiosk is 15.85 metres high
