Abu Simbel Day Trip from Aswan

Early Morning Pick-up: Your tour begins with an early pick-up (around 4:30–5:00 AM) from your hotel or cruise in Aswan. Travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle through the desert road to Abu Simbel (approx. 3.5–4 hours).

Arrival at Abu Simbel: Explore the world-famous Abu Simbel Temples, built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC.

• Great Temple of Ramses II: Admire the colossal statues at the entrance, towering 20 meters high, and step inside to see impressive halls and detailed reliefs celebrating Ramses’ victories.
• Temple of Queen Nefertari: Dedicated to Ramses’ beloved wife and the goddess Hathor, this smaller but equally magnificent temple is a rare tribute to an ancient Egyptian queen.

Guided Exploration: Your Egyptologist guide will explain the fascinating history of the temples, including their relocation in the 1960s to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

Free Time for Photos: Enjoy time to explore on your own and capture incredible photos against the backdrop of Lake Nasser.
