Discover the wonders of ancient Egypt with a carefully crafted experience, far from the usual tourist trail.
Enjoy the Nubian Museum Aswan tour as part of your journey through Aswan’s fascinating history. After pickup from your hotel, you'll visit the Nubian Museum in Aswan, which houses monuments and artifacts from the long history of Nubian culture. You can then continue with a Kalabsha Temple tour Aswan, visiting the temple built in 30 BC on the site of a much older temple.
Skip the hassle of haggling with taxi drivers and enjoy the full expertise of your personal Egyptologist guide on this private Kalabsha Temple tour. At the Nubian Museum, you'll discover ancient and modern Nubian culture in context through life-sized diorama displays.
Then explore the beautifully preserved Temple of Kalabsha, a late Egyptian temple with glorious views over the Aswan High Dam. This Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum tour is also an excellent choice among the things to do in Aswan, combining two important cultural attractions in one private experience.
Spend the day exploring two of the most important complexes in Nubia with the help of your private guide. You'll visit the Temple of Kalabsha, the largest freestanding temple in the region, and the Nubian Museum, considered one of the most important museums for relics recovered from tombs and temples. This Aswan Kalabsha Temple tour takes you deep into the history of Egypt's Nubia region and explores the impact of the Aswan High Dam on the area.
The tour begins with a motorboat ride across the waters of Lake Nasser, taking in the scenery on your way to the ancient Temple of Kalabsha. The temple itself was built by the Roman emperor Octavius Augustus in 30 BC as a tribute to Mandulis (Merul), a Lower Nubian sun god. Explore the largest freestanding temple in Egyptian Nubia and admire a fine carving of Horus emerging from reeds on its inner curtain wall as part of this Kalabsha Temple tour.
Your guide will show you the temple's most remarkable carvings and features, explaining why it's considered one of the most complete monuments in the region. For travelers seeking a private Kalabsha Temple tour, this experience offers a more personal way to explore the ancient site with an Egyptologist guide.
Then, visit the International Museum of Nubia as part of your Nubian Museum Aswan tour, the result of a UNESCO initiative to preserve artifacts from the area's history.
The museum was built to provide an exhibition space for materials recovered from tombs, temples, and settlements, after Egyptologists and archaeologists feared that rising waters from the High Dam would submerge the remnants of Egyptian Nubia.
The Nubia Museum opened in 1997 and is a winner of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Together, the two sites make this Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum tour a memorable choice among the things to do in Aswan.
