Enjoy one of our fascinating day tours in Egypt with a visit to Kalabsha Temple and the Nubian Museum in Aswan. During this Aswan day tour, your expert Egyptologist guide from Cairo Top Tours will pick you up from your hotel to explore two of Aswan most remarkable cultural sites. Begin your journey at the Temple of Kalabsha, re-erected on a hill near the High Dam site on the western bank of the Nile.
Originally built by Tuthmosis II and Amenhotep II at Kalabsha, about 40 miles south of Aswan, this temple dates back to the early Roman era in Egypt around 30 B.C. The temple was dedicated to Mandulis, the Nubian sun god, and adorned with splendid reliefs and inscriptions that demonstrated the fusion of Egyptian and Nubian arts.
Continue with the next tour at the Nubian Museum, which clearly represents the Nubian people and culture. Opened in 1997, the museum preserves thousands of artifacts that were salvaged from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. Among the highlights of this museum are the remnants of a statue of Ramses II and artifacts that highlight the skills and ingenuity of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
Your private guide will explain every exhibit, ensuring that your Aswan private tour will be both educational and inspiring.
After finishing the tour and excursions, you will be transferred comfortably back to your hotel in Aswan. If you wish to consider more Egypt day tours, a representative will help you plan more adventures to extend your time in Egypt.
