quarry, archaeological site
This is one of the ancient granite quarries in Aswan. This one is called the "northern quarry" by Wikipedia, and is where the "unfinished obelisk" is situated. Wikimapia has a tiny hot-spot within this larger hotspot which, if you zoom in, will allow you to learn more about the unfinished obelisk.
