Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum Tour

At 8:00 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan to enjoy a trip to Kalabsha Temple, which was relocated and is now situated on a hill near the West Bank site. This temple was originally built by Toutmosis II and Amenophis II in Kalabsha, 40 miles south of Aswan, and was later restored during the Roman period. After that, continue to the long-awaited Nubian Museum, which opened in 1997. This museum displays thousands of monuments that would otherwise have been lost under the waters of Lake Nasser. The museum takes its name from the ancient Egyptian word Nbu, meaning gold, in reference to the region's famous gold mines. Furthermore, you will enjoy Nubian life scenes presented through a range of life-size displays.
