Visit the relocated Temple of Kalabsha and the engineering feat of the Aswan High Dam.

This tour takes you, with your guide, to the Temple of Kalabsha and then to the Aswan High Dam viewpoint. The temple was dismantled and rebuilt at a new site near the dam, with German support, to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser. It is one of Aswan's quieter sights, and it pairs naturally with the High Dam that made the move necessary.
