Kalabsha Temple

À propos

The temple of the Nubian god Mandulis, one of the largest in Nubia, moved block by block in the 1960s to an island near the High Dam to save it from Lake Nasser. Reached by a short boat ride, with the Kiosk of Qertassi and Beit el-Wali beside it — far quieter than Aswan's busier sights.
