- Nubian Museum - The Nubia Museum, located across from the Basma Hotel, is a hidden gem that celebrates the history, art, and culture of Nubia. Opened in 1997 in partnership with UNESCO, the museum serves as a poignant reminder of what was submerged under Lake Nasser. The exhibits are elegantly presented in expansive halls, with well-written descriptions guiding visitors from 4500 BC to the present.
- Temple of Philae - Once the ancient Egyptian center for the worship of Isis, the Temples of Philae were revered from the Pharaonic era through the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods, with each ruler contributing to its structure. This revered site has captivated travelers since the earliest Nile cruises from Cairo and stands as one of Nubia’s most significant monuments.
Rescued from submersion by UNESCO’s preservation project during the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the temples were meticulously relocated block by block from their original location on Philae Island to Agilika Island, 12 kilometers south of Aswan. As a result, visitors today can still explore the columns of this ancient and revered site.
