Exclusive Kalabsha Temple Tour: Discover the Gem of Aswan on Lake Nasser

Itinerary: Kalabsha Temple Tour

Exploring Kalabsha Temple
Embark on a private tour to the enchanting Kalabsha Temple, nestled on the banks of Lake Nasser. With your expert Egyptologist guide by your side, delve into the temple's captivating history. Originally constructed post the Ptolemaic period, marking the end of Alexander the Great's era around 323BC, and dedicated to the gods Horus and Mandulis, you'll learn about its significant relocation in 1961. The temple was meticulously dismantled into over 15,000 pieces and reassembled at its current site to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. Despite the facade's lack of decoration, hinting at an unfinished masterpiece by its Roman creator, Octavius Augustus, Kalabsha Temple stands as Nubia's largest and most intact freestanding temple. Within its walls, discover artwork that spans Egyptian to Christian eras, including depictions of St George conquering a dragon and mysterious Coptic crosses, alongside inscriptions in a language yet to be decoded by modern Egyptologists.
