Worth visiting, specially if you know how the obelisks have been made/carved. The whole place can be quickly seen (20 min), so it won't take much of your time.

No information. Might be interesting if you come with a guide. Otherwise skip it. It is too pricy for just one obelisk. Not worth it.

The missing obelisk lies on the northern edge of the obelisk quarry, which is the most important granite quarry in Aswan. It was discovered in 1921 in the quarries of Aswan, where its stones were used

Just as the name implies, an unfinished obelisk is located in a Granite quarry in the heart of Aswan. The highlight is a piece of granite weighting 1,200 tons and dating back 3,400 years old, however, the giant piece of stone is still in the ground cracked as they were mining it and it was abandoned. We saw another obelisk from this mine at the Temple of Karnack though this unfinished obelisk, was planned to be found found times bigger – reaching 42 meters (138 feet) high and would have been the world’s largest obelisk. And an interesting, albeit sad, fact that I learned – – Rome has 13 obelisks (more than all of Egypt, only 8 left of the original 85).

Impressive story and place. Unfortunately, there's much room for improvement on the organisational side of things.
