Itinerary and highlights
The museum was built in order to provide an exhibition space for materials recovered from tombs, temples, and settlements, as Egyptologists and archaeologists feared that rising waters from the High Dam would submerge the remnants of Egyptian Nubia. The Nubia Museum opened in 1997 and is a winner of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
The temple itself was built by the Roman emperor Augustus in 30 BC as a tribute to Mandulis , a Nubian sun god. Explore the largest freestanding temple in Egyptian Nubia and admire a fine carving of Horus emerging from reeds on its inner curtain wall.
Follow your guide, who shows you its most remarkable carvings and features, and see why the temple is considered one of the most complete in the region. Then, visit the Museum of Nubia, a result of UNESCO's initiative to preserve artifacts from the area's history
