Kalabasha, Beit El-Wali and Kertassi Temples

On this tour, we'll visit three distinct temples, from the Roman era Kalabasha to the rock-carved mausoleum Beit El-Wali, dating back to the time of Ramses II.

Itinerary

We will pick you up at your boat or hotel in the morning and travel south to the Aswan dam, located 20 kilometers (13 miles) from the city.

Our first stop is the Kalabsha temple, dedicated to Mandulis, the Nubian Sun God, built around 30 A.D. The temple measures 76 meters long and 22 meters wide, and was relocated due to the Aswan dam.

The next stop is Beit el-Wali, a small temple from the time of Ramses II, carved in rock and dedicated to Amon-Ra. It features a patio with scenes from Ramses II's military campaigns.

Finally, we'll visit the Kiosk of Qertassi, dedicated to Isis, marked by two columns with the head of Goddess Hathor. This temple was also relocated for the Aswan dam.

After the tour, we will return you to your boat or hotel.
