Highlights from Aswan to Abu Simbel
The Temple of Kalabsha: is one of the temples that are worth visiting on Aswan day tours. It's located on the Western Bank of the River Nile, around 40 miles south of Aswan on a hill near the High Dam site. This temple was originally built by Toutmosis II and Amenophis II and was restored during the Roman era.
Wadi El Seboua temple: This will be your second destination on the Egypt tours program after Kalapsha temple.
The Temple of Amada: it’s the oldest Egyptian temple in Nubia, was first constructed by Pharaoh Thutmose III of the 18th dynasty and is dedicated to Amun and Re-Horakhty. His son and successor, Amenhotep II continued the decoration program for this structure.
Kasr Ibrim: this is like a museum because it contains the largest collection of old Nubian documents ever found which was occupied until 1813 & today the island is closed because the site has been shot by artillery fire. You will pass it while you are on Movenpick Prince Abbas Lake Nasser Cruises and it will be a good chance to get to know him.
Abu Simbel Temples: The most popular temple in Aswan that you will visit through Egypt Nile cruises as it overlooks the Nile River. This is located on the western bank of Lake Nasser & it’s about 230 km southwest of Aswan near the border with Sudan.
It’s a set of two temples, it was constructed for the pharaoh “Ramses II” and the other for his own beautiful wife “Nefertari”. It was built in 1255 BC & it was rediscovered two hundred years ago.
The larger temple is dedicated to three major Egyptian goddesses & features four large statues of Ramses II on its facade, while the smaller temple is dedicated to the love goddess Hathor, with statues designed for his beloved wife Nefertari.
