Top Ancient Egyptian Sights to Discover in Aswan
Abu Simbel Temples
Travel by plane or bus to visit the magnificent Abu Simbel Temples, built by Ramses II in the 13th century BC to commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. These massive temples were relocated in the 1960s during a UNESCO-led effort to save them from Lake Nasser's rising waters after the Aswan High Dam, making them a historical and engineering marvel.
Philae Temple
Take a scenic boat ride to Philae Island and visit the enchanting Temple of Isis, built during the 30th Dynasty (380–362 BC) and expanded under Ptolemaic rule.
The Unfinished Obelisk
See the fascinating Unfinished Obelisk, commissioned by Queen Hatshepsut during the 18th Dynasty (around 1500 BC). Still attached to the bedrock, it offers rare insight into the quarrying and stone-carving techniques of ancient Egyptian craftsmen, adding depth to your exploration of Aswan’s granite legacy.
Kom Ombo Temple
A short trip from Aswan takes you to Kom Ombo Temple, built during the Ptolemaic Dynasty (c. 180–47 BC). Uniquely dedicated to two gods, Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus the Elder, this symmetrical temple features twin sanctuaries, intricate reliefs, and a museum with mummified crocodiles, showcasing the duality of ancient Egyptian beliefs.
Edfu Temple
Between Aswan and Luxor, Edfu Temple is one of Egypt's best-preserved temples, dedicated to Horus, the falcon headed god. Built between 237 and 57 BC during the Ptolemaic period, it showcases classic Egyptian temple architecture and mythology. Many tours from Aswan pair visits to Edfu and Kom Ombo for a full-day trip into ancient history.
Aswan Botanical Gardens
Escape the hustle and bustle to visit Kitchener’s Island, transformed in the late 19th century by Lord Kitchener into the lush Aswan Botanical Gardens.
Nubian Museum
Explore local heritage at the Nubian Museum, opened in 1997 to preserve Nubia’s rich history and culture. With over 3,000 artifacts from prehistoric to Islamic times, the museum showcases Aswan’s diverse identity.
