    Nubian Museum Philae Temple
    ItineraryNubian Museum &  Philae TempleNubian MuseumThis museum was established in association with UNESCO to preserve the ancient Nubian culture, which was devastated when the Nile was dammed in 1970. The Nubian Museum is one of Aswan’s most fascinating and least-visited attractions. Exhibits run from 6,500 years ago to the present day, from the Kingdom of Kush of the Black Pharaohs to contemporary folk culture. The architecture of the Museum and the enclosure walls are intended to evoke traditional Nubian village architecture, as it was along the Nubian Nile before the region was flooded by Lake Nasser.Your qualified Egyptologist guide will show you some of the most important artifacts before allowing you free time to explore the museum at your leisure.Philae TempleWe continue our tour by motorboat to reach Agilika Island, between the old and new Aswan dam, where the Philae Temple is located. The sacred Temple of Isis, this temple is one of Upper Egypt’s most captivating monuments both for the superb artistry of its reliefs and for the striking symmetry of its architecture. The temple was saved by the rising waters of Lake Nasser by UNESCO’s rescue project and moved from its original home on Philae Island to nearby and higher where it sits today.
