Excursion to Abu Simbel

On this excursion, we'll visit the astonishing temples of Abu Simbel, the only monuments in Egypt comparable to the three pyramids of Giza.

Description

The tour departs from Aswan at the specified time with pickup from your hotel or boat. An early start is recommended to arrive at the temples first thing in the morning and avoid the midday heat. Additionally, you can experience a sunrise in the desert.

After 3 hours, we'll reach Abu Simbel, a complex of two rock-excavated temples, one dedicated to Ramses II and the other to Nefertari, his preferred wife. The complex, built over 20 years under Ramses II's direction, is well-preserved, having been buried under sand until the 19th century.

The guided tour will last approximately 2 hours, allowing exploration of both temples and insights into their history, including details about their relocation and Egypt's international collaboration for that effort.

Following our visit, we will return to Aswan, completing the trip in about 9 hours.
