What you can expect

Visit the largest and most completely free-standing temple in Nubia, the Kalabsha Temple, nestled on the banks of Lake Nasser. Catch a motorboat to the historic monument as you enjoy a private tour with your personal Egyptologist guide.

Make a journey south from Aswan to the vast reservoir of Lake Nasser, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. The Kalabsha Temple recently underwent relocation to Nasser’s banks in order to protect it from the rising Nile waters after construction of the High Aswan Dam.

Gaze upon the impressively-sized temple, built in honour of the Nubian sun god, Mandulis. Learn from your guide which Roman emperor commissioned its construction as you admire its carvings and drawings. Enjoy the artwork’s vibrancy upon a temple that stands largely without decoration but has been expertly excavated and restored and now stands as a valuable record of life in ancient times.
