Itinerary
1
Start your tour with an introductory privately guided visit to Kalabsha Temple. Kalabsha is one of Nubia's most important ancient monuments, built by Tuthmosie II & Amenophis II and later reconstructed under the Romans. It was carefully removed and moved to higher ground closer to the Aswan High Dam to save it from the water flooding into Lake Nasser.
Next, visit the one founded in collaboration with UNESCO in 1997. Within the museum, you will learn about the history of Nubia and gain an insight into millennia of Nubian culture and traditions through thousands of items such as pottery, jewelry, horse armor, and even treasure rescued from areas that were drowned by Lake Nasser.
Appreciate the building itself, which is modeled on Nubian villages, and let your Egyptologist guide highlight the main pieces and inform you of the history of the Nubian people before allowing you free time to view them at your own leisure.
