Hotel Pickup & Transfer
Your day begins with a private pickup from your Aswan hotel in a modern air-conditioned vehicle. Travel comfortably along the Nile’s west bank with your expert Egyptologist guide, who will provide fascinating insights into Nubian and Egyptian history.

Kalabsha Temple
Start your tour at Kalabsha Temple, originally built by Thutmose II and Amenophis II around 40 miles south of Aswan. This temple was later restored during the Roman conquest and relocated to its current hilltop location near the Aswan High Dam to protect it from flooding caused by Lake Nasser. Admire the grand pylons, intricate reliefs, and carvings depicting gods, pharaohs, and rituals, showcasing the architectural mastery of ancient Egypt.

Nubian Museum
Next, visit the Nubian Museum, opened in 1997 to preserve artifacts that would have been submerged under Lake Nasser. Explore thousands of ancient objects, including statues, tools, jewelry, and art, alongside life-size exhibits depicting Nubian daily life. Learn about the Nubians’ rich cultural traditions, their unique architecture, and the gold mining heritage that gave the region its name, derived from the Egyptian word “Nbu” meaning gold.
