About this experience

At 4 am, a qualified Tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan, which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy the Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle.

The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered the masterpieces of ancient Egypt.

They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called the Temple of Hathor, who was the wife of the Sun God, so symbolically, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God together as one. Spend around 3 hours there, then take the way back to Aswan
