Itinerary and highlights

Stop At: Abu Simbel Temples

Enjoy a private pickup at your preferred time (4:00 AM – 11:00 AM) in a premium air-conditioned vehicle, followed by a comfortable 3-hour journey through the Sahara Desert, with a brief stop at an authentic desert camp.

Upon arrival, explore the magnificent temples with your expert Egyptologist guide. Discover the legacy of Ramesses II and visit the beautifully carved temple dedicated to his beloved queen, Nefertari.

Carved into the mountainside over 3,000 years ago, these iconic temples were remarkably relocated in 1964 to protect them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser—a true testament to both ancient brilliance and modern engineering.
