Pick Up
At 4 am, we’ll be waiting for you at your selected location in Aswan to pick you up in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. A Master Egyptologist will accompany you through the entire Abu Simbel Temple tour.
The Outbound Journey
You’ll enjoy a 3-hour smooth trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel, during which you can enjoy the scenic Nubian desert and the pure nature of Upper Egypt.
Sun Temple Of Ramses II at Abu Simbel
Upon arrival, you’ll be astonished by the great temple of Abu Simbel, which was built by King Ramses II, one of the most famous pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
Explore this remarkable rock-cut temple, which boasts an iconic façade featuring four colossal seated statues of King Ramses II on either side of its entrance. Join our Egyptologist as they describe the temple's intricate details, share photos from the relocation project, and answer all your questions.
Then you’ll get into the temple to explore the excellence of its architecture, and see the interesting wall reliefs showing different scenes from King Ramses II’s battles, besides many other religious scenes of the king with different divinities.
Reaching the sanctuary, you find four seated statues of three ancient Egyptian gods and King Ramses himself. These statues are the reason why the temple is known as “Sun Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel” because the horizontal rays of the sun illuminate these statues on two specific dates each year, which were believed to be the king’s date of birth and coronation, but this is not true. Nevertheless, this sun alignment symbolizes the fusion of the solar forces with the gods.
Temple Of Nefertari
Then you’ll visit the smaller temple to the north of that of Ramses II, which was also built by King Ramses II, but it was dedicated to his beloved wife Nefertari along with the goddess Hathor. The facade of this temple is also a unique one, featuring six colossal standing statues of the King and the Queen with smaller figures of the royal children.
Free Time
Before finishing the Abu Simbel Temple tour, you’ll have free time to explore the location on your own and relax in the heart of the charming nature of the Nubian desert and Lake Nasser. Then we’ll have a light snack and take some memorable photos to cherish the highlights of our exciting adventure.
The Return Journey To Aswan
We’ll return to Aswan through the Nubian desert, and finally, we’ll drop you off at your selected location in Aswan.
