Your Egyptologist guide will pick you up from your Nile cruise or your hotel in Aswan to take you to Kalabsha Temple. During the 1960s and 1970s, when the High Dam was built, many of the ancient temples were moved to an island near Aswan. The most important building is believed to be the Kalabsha Temple, which was originally fifty kilometers south of Aswan. It was built for the Nubian god Mandulis and was located fifty kilometers south of Aswan. It was built around 30 BC when the Romans were just beginning their rule. It was built on the site of a much older temple.
Next, move on to the island of Philae, where you can find some of the most beautiful temples to the goddess Isis. It is a complex of temples built for an ancient history, from the time of the Pharaohs to the time of the Romans. After riding a motor boat to look at the temple, stop by one of the restaurants in the area for lunch.
Visit the Nubian Museum, which showcases the history, art, and culture of the Nubian people, and then proceed to your next stop. The museum, which was built with the help of UNESCO in 1997, is a sad reminder of the history that was lost when Lake Nasser was built. Works by local artists are displayed in the museum. The story begins when the ancient civilizations of Kush and Meroe still existed. Inspired by exhibitions of Coptic and Islamic art, a major UNESCO project is depicted to move the most important ancient buildings in Nubia away from the high water levels of Lake Nasser caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. After that, you will be transferred to Aswan, where you will stay.
