Highlights from Aswan to Abu Simbel
The Temple of Kalabsha: is 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. Egypt Promotion recommends Kalabsha temple to its Egypt tours.
Wadi El Seboua 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.
Abu Simbel Temples: This is on the western shore of Lake Nasser, some 230 kilometers southwest of Aswan, near the Sudanese border.
It consists of two temples, one for the pharaoh "Ramses II" and the other for his lovely wife "Nefertari." It was erected in 1255 BC and found two centuries later.
The bigger temple is dedicated to three prominent Egyptian deities and has four enormous sculptures of Ramses II on its front, whilst the smaller temple is dedicated to the love goddess Hathor and has statues of his loving wife Nefertari. Abu Simbel is a must-visited destination in Aswan and it's included in all Egypt Nile cruises itineraries.
