There are many monuments here, including tombs of the rulers of Nubia during the reign of Tuthmosis III.
The boat sails on as you have lunch, eventually arriving at Amada, where you will embark to visit the temple. The temple here was built in the New Kingdom by Tuthmosis III and Amenhotep II. It was dedicated to the gods Amun-Re and Re-Horakhty. It was later added to by Tuthmosis IV and Seti I. After the visit, you will return to the boat for dinner, as it continues its journey towards Wadi El-Sebou.
Meals breakfastLunchdinnerDay 6 - Lake Nasser Cruise: Wadi El-Sebou, Dakka6

After breakfast, it is time to visit the temple of Wadi El-Sebou. Like Abu Simbel, it was built by Ramses II and is the second biggest of the Nubian temples. An avenue of sphinxes leading to the entrance of this temple, which was dedicated to the worship of the gods Amun-Re, Re-Horakhty, and the deified Ramses II. It is one of the many temples that were rescued, and relocated away from their original locations, to escape the rising water of Lake Nasser.
Your next visit will be to the Temple of Dakka. Originally built on a site that dated from the New Kingdom, but moved to save it from being destroyed, this temple was built by the Nubian Akamani who ruled during the reign of Ptolemy II. After these visits, which include lunch, you will be returned to the cruise boat for your dinner as you now start to return to Aswan.

65 Km before reaching Aswan you will have another temple to visit. After breakfast, you will be taken to see the temple of Kalabsha, named after the nearby village. Constructed in the Roman Period, during the reign of Augustus, it was later added to by other emperors, such as Caligula and Trajan. It was built on an earlier site which is thought to date back to the 18th dynasty reigns of Tuthmosis and Amenhotep II. It is considered to be among the most complete temples in Nubia.
The last temple you will visit on the shores of this massive, man-made lake is the temple of Beit El-Wali. Not only is it another of the many temples built by Ramses II, and dedicated to his deified self, Amun-Re and Re-Horakhty, it is also another which was moved to preserve it. These Nubian temples of Ramses II were built as part of a state-sponsored policy designed to maintain Egyptian control over Nubia. In the New Kingdom, Nubia was not only ruled by the Egyptian officials but its whole identity was destroyed, an attempt to make it more like Egypt.

Travel at your own schedule
Because all of our packages are privately arranged whereas you will get a private tour with a private guide and private transportation, there is no fixed start or finishing dates, you can do it at your own schedule. If we have to, we will simply alter the itinerary so that it fits with the cruise embarkation, ensuring that no planned visits are missed, just rescheduled somewhere else.
This allows you to get the best available flights, which is a huge asset if you are traveling on a budget. Obviously, this is something that companies that only offer large group visits cannot offer.
