Onboard the Movenpick Prince Abbas Lake Nasser Cruise, breakfast will be served. Later, you'll explore the Kalabsha Temple with your tour guide. The first stop on any of Lake Nasser's tours is Kalabsha Temple, which is close to the High Dam. After the dam was constructed, it was relocated from its original site 30 miles south to this area. The late Ptolemaic era witnessed the beginning of this temple's construction, and Augustus the Roman emperor oversaw its completion. The end result is an intriguing fusion of iconography with Egyptian and Roman motifs, showing Roman emperors and pharaohs bowing down to Egyptian deities. The Nubian god Mandalas was honored in the temple.
Additionally, you will see Beit El Wali, which was rescued by a Polish archaeological team that was supported by a collaboration between the Swiss Institute in Cairo and the Oriental Institute of Chicago. The actual temple was constructed with a symmetrical cruciform design. It is made up of a sanctuary, a transverse antechamber, and a large hall. Except for the front wall of the cavernous hall with its central entryway, the speos temple was largely cut out of the surrounding rock. You will return to the cruise after the visit for refreshments and lunch, and the ship will then sail to the Wadi El Sebou temple while traveling through the Tropic of Cancer.
Included meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
