Aswan
Temple of Philae • Nubian Museum • Sail on a
traditional felucca
Aswan is situated in southern Egypt and
the main sight here is the Temple of Philae.
Located on Agilkia Island between Aswan’s
two dams, the temple is one of the most
photogenic sites on the Nile. The original
location of the temple meant that it was often
flooded, so in the 1960s the entire complex
was moved.
The Nubian Museum houses an excellent
collection of artefacts from the nomadic tribes
of southern Egypt, which have now been
displaced due to the construction of the dam in
the 20th century. Don’t miss the chance to take
a leisurely felucca (traditional wooden sailboat)
trip on the river.
Abu Simbel
Feluccas on the Nile, Aswan
See the colossal Temple of Ramses II • Day
excursion from Aswan
The Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel is one
of the most impressive monuments in Egypt.
Built into a rocky hillside, the site’s four statues
are around 20 metres high and remain as
awesome today as they would have been at
the time of their construction 3,000 years ago.
Due to the construction of the High Dam at
Aswan, the temple was moved between 1964
and 1968 to its new picturesque location.
Next to the Temple of Ramses II is the smaller
temple of Nefertari, dedicated to the wife of
Ramses II.
Many visitors choose to reach the site by
air, as a day trip from Aswan. Due to flight
restrictions, the maximum duration of your
visit cannot exceed one hour.
