Temple of Kalabsha
The Temple of Kalabsha is an ancient Egyptian temple originally built during the Roman Emperor Augustus' reign, dedicated to the Nubian sun god Mandulis. Due to the Aswan High Dam, it was relocated to its current location near Lake Nasser. Known for its well-preserved structure and carvings, it is a key example of Roman-era Egyptian architecture and a major attraction for history enthusiasts.
Temple of Philae
The Temple of Philae is an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the goddess Isis, located on Agilkia Island near Aswan. Originally on Philae Island, it was relocated in the 1960s due to the Aswan High Dam. The temple is famous for its well-preserved architecture, including the Kiosk of Trajan, Hypostyle Hall, and the Sanctuary of Isis, with detailed hieroglyphs. It was a major religious site during the Greco-Roman period and offers stunning views of the Nile.
The Unfinished Obelisk
The Unfinished Obelisk in Aswan is a massive obelisk that was abandoned during its construction in the ancient granite quarry. It is partially carved from the bedrock, providing insight into ancient Egyptian stone working techniques. If completed, it would have been one of the largest obelisks ever built. The site also showcases tool marks and the methods used by ancient Egyptians to extract and shape stone for their monumental structures.
