Highlights from Aswan to Abu Simbel
The Temple of Kalabsha: is situated on a hill near the High Dam site on the Nile's Western Bank, reached by Lake Nasser cruises approximately 40 miles south of Aswan. Toutmosis II and Amenophis II erected this temple, which was later rebuilt during the Roman Empire.
Wadi El Seboua temple: From the places that are rarely visited. But Egypt Promotion does its best to include different itineraries on its Egypt Nile cruises to learn and watch more different attractions during your Egypt tours.
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.
Abu Simbel Temples: 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 that you must add to your Aswan day tours list, 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.
