Overview

Explore two lesser-known Aswan sights on a tour of the Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum, with an Egyptologist guide. Learn about ancient Egypt’s gods at Kalabsha, an ancient temple overlooking Lake Nasser. Admire the beautiful temple and hear how it was rebuilt here in the 1960s to save it from Lake Nasser, formed by the building of Aswan’s High Dam. Afterward, visit Aswan’s Nubian Museum, a showcase of ancient Nubian artifacts. See 6,000-year-old pottery, armor and more, and learn how many exhibits were salvaged before being submerged by Nasser's waters.
