Half Day Kalabsha Temple

Kalabsha Temple
We will drive through the daily life of Aswan city to get to the stunning waterfront temple. Originally built in 30 BC by Roman emperor Octavius Augustus, in the 1960s after the building of the Aswan High Dam, the temple was dismantled and relocated here. During your visit you can view the impressive stone causeway leading from the lake to the first pylon of the temple, beyond which are the colonnaded court and the great hypostyle hall. Inscriptions on the walls show various emperors and pharaohs in the presence of gods and goddesses. Just beyond the hall is the sanctuary, consisting of three chambers. Stairs from one chamber lead up to the roof, from where you can take in superb views of Lake Nasser and the High Dam.

This temple is considered one of the most complete temples in the region, and it is ideal for ancient history buffs.
