Private Guided Half-Day Tour of Kalabsha Temple and Nubian Museum

Enjoy a memorable half-day cultural tour in Aswan, beginning with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or Nile cruise, arranged by Five S Travel. This experience combines historical insight with deep cultural appreciation.

Kalabsha Temple:
Located on the western shore of the Nile near the High Dam, the Temple of Kalabsha stands as a striking example of ancient Egyptian architecture. Originally commissioned by Pharaohs Thutmose II and Amenhotep II, the temple was later renovated during the Roman period. Its elevated position not only provides impressive views of the Nile but also makes it a compelling site for history enthusiasts interested in the blend of Pharaonic and Greco-Roman influences.

Nubian Museum:
Named after the ancient term “Nbu” (meaning gold), a tribute to the region’s famous gold resources, the Nubian Museum was established to preserve the area’s priceless artifacts after the building of the High Dam. Opened in 1997, this modern museum features a rich collection of archaeological treasures and detailed exhibits on Nubian civilization. It offers visitors an authentic glimpse into the traditions, daily life, and enduring legacy of the Nubian people.

At the end of your tour, you’ll be returned to your hotel or cruise ship with a deeper appreciation for Aswan’s layered history and vibrant culture.
