Itinerary

Your tour in Aswan, guided by an Egyptologist, promises a journey through time and culture, starting with a visit to the Temple of Kalabsha. This temple, now situated on an island near Aswan, was moved to protect it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser caused by the construction of the High Dam between 1960 and 1970. Originally located 50 km south of Aswan, the Kalabsha Temple, dating back to around 30 BC in the early Roman era, is dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis and is built on the site of an older temple. Following this, your tour will take you to Philae Island to explore the captivating Temple of Goddess Isis. This complex, a testament to the architectural prowess from the Pharaohsโ€™ era to Roman times, is accessible by a motorboat ride. After delving into the ancient marvels of the Isis Temple, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. The final stop on your tour is the Nubian Museum. Established in 1997 in collaboration with UNESCO, this museum serves as a vital repository of Nubian history, art, and culture. It's a tribute to the civilizations lost beneath Lake Nasser and offers a comprehensive collection of artifacts ranging from prehistoric times, through the Kingdoms of Kush and Meroe, to the Coptic and Islamic eras. The museum also details UNESCOโ€™s monumental effort to relocate key Nubian historic monuments during the construction of the Aswan High Dam. After a day rich in historical exploration, your guide will ensure your safe return to your accommodation in Aswan.
