Itinerary

Nubian Museum

The Nubian Museum is a key highlight of the Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum Tour, offering deep insight into the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Nubian people. Located in Aswan, the museum houses thousands of artifacts spanning multiple eras, including Geological, Pharaonic, Roman, Coptic, and Islamic periods. Visitors on the Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum Tour can explore diverse exhibits such as geological specimens, ancient tools, statues, manuscripts, and everyday objects that illustrate how Nubian civilizations evolved over thousands of years. This museum provides a comprehensive and educational introduction to Nubia’s archaeological and cultural legacy.

Kalabsha Temple

Kalabsha Temple, another major stop on the Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum Tour, is located about 50 km south of Aswan and dates back to the late Ptolemaic era, with completion during the Roman Period. Dedicated to the Nubian god Mandulis, the temple was initiated by the Roman Emperor Augustus around 30 BC.

Originally threatened by flooding after the construction of the Aswan High Dam, Kalabsha Temple was carefully relocated to an island on the edge of Lake Nasser to preserve it from submersion. Today, visitors can admire its impressive architecture, detailed reliefs, and well-preserved carvings, gaining valuable insight into the religious and cultural life of ancient Nubia. This makes the Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum Tour a must for history and archaeology enthusiasts.

 Verified Unforgettable Nile Cruise Experience – Perfect From Start to Finish! Thank you for cruise and Hady;)
I joined the 4 days / 3 nights Nile cruise and it was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life. From the moment we checked in, everything was perfectly arranged. We were given a beautiful room with an amazing view, and the cruise itself was so elegant, clean, and comfortable. Every detail was thoughtful.The tours were also exceptional. Our guide, Hady, was absolutely the best storyteller. He didn’t just explain history – he brought ancient Egypt to life for us. He shared so much knowledge with passion and humour, and made every temple and site feel meaningful. Because of him, the journey became even more impressive.The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and the experience was so relaxing and unforgettable. I would definitely love to travel again with the same cruise and tour company. Highly recommended!
