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.
