What makes Private excursion to Kalabsha Temple The Jewel of Aswan on Lake Nasser a unique experience ?
On the banks of Lake Nasser lies Kalabsha Temple. Your Egyptologist guide is waiting to take you on a private tour to the temple to help you unlock its secrets. For two years from 1961, the temple was dismantled into 15,000 pieces and moved to its current location on Lake Nasser. The temple which is dedicated to the Egyptian god Horus and the Nubian god Mandulis was originally built just after the Ptolemy period, the era after Alexander the Great’s death (323BC). The facade of the temple is undecorated suggesting it was never finished by its original builder, the Roman emperor Octavius Augustus. Despite being unfinished, Kalabsha Temple is considered the most complete, and largest free-standing temple in Nubia. The inner walls feature Egyptian artwork including a carving of St George slaying a dragon and Coptic crosses, showing the influence of the Christian era. This language remains a mystery to Egyptologists today, with its origin still unknown.
