On this day trip, we'll visit the temples of Abu Simbel, comparable in grandeur to the pyramids of Giza.

Day Trip Details

The tour departs from Aswan at the specified time. Pickup will be from your hotel or boat. An early morning departure is recommended to arrive at the temples before the midday heat and to experience the unique sunrise in the desert.

After approximately 3 hours, we will arrive at Abu Simbel, which comprises two rock-excavated temples, one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to his wife Nefertari. The complex was built over 20 years under Ramses II's guidance and is well-preserved due to being buried beneath sand until the 19th century.

Our guided tour will last around 1 hour, allowing us to explore both temples and learn their history, including the details of their relocation and Egypt’s efforts for international assistance.

After our visit, we will return to Aswan, arriving after 7 to 8 hours.
