Full-Day Trip to Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum
One of the best guides and an experienced driver will meet you in the hotel lobby early in the morning at the time set by your tour operator. They will transport you on your adventure in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, beginning with the visit to:
Nubian Museum
The UNESCO-established Nubia Museum in Aswan, Egypt, features artifacts from the ancient Nubian civilization along with information on the history of Nubia from prehistoric times to the present, including a review of the most significant Nubian customs and traditions and the ancient Nubian language.
There are 5,000 objects in the museum that depict the phases of Egyptian civilization and Nubian cultural development. Additionally, there are 68 unique huge statues and paintings of varying sizes on show outside the museum. A human skeleton that is 200,000 years old and was discovered in 1982 in the Edcubateh region of Aswan is among the most exquisite and unique items on exhibit.
The next step is Kalabsha Temple, the second largest temple in the Nubian ruins (after Abu Simbel). The temple, which is 76 meters long and 22 meters wide, was constructed during the reign of Emperor Augustus but was never finished. It is dedicated to the worship of Mandolis, the Nubian sun god, and was constructed on the remains of another temple of King Amenhotep III. Despite being constructed during the Roman era, the temple features drawings of the god Horus on its inner wall.
We will go on an incredible historical adventure amid the captivating Southern ambiance, surrounded by amazing carvings and breathtaking surroundings.
Finally, we will transfer you back to your hotel in Aswan.
