Embark on a journey to discover two of Aswan’s underrated attractions—the Kalabsha Temple and the Nubian Museum—under the guidance of an Egyptologist. Get acquainted with the deities of ancient Egypt at Kalabsha, an age-old temple that offers a panoramic view of Lake Nasser. Absorb the temple’s stunning beauty and uncover its reconstruction tale in the 1960s to protect it from being inundated by Lake Nasser, an outcome of Aswan’s High Dam construction. Subsequently, pay a visit to the Nubian Museum in Aswan, a repository for ancient Nubian artifacts.
