Abu Simbel is an ancient Egyptian temple complex located in Nubia, southern Egypt. It was originally carved out of the rock cliff by order of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC. The temple is dedicated to Ramesses II and his wife Nefertari, and it is one of the most impressive and well-preserved temples in Egypt.
This is the most popular option and it is a great way to see Abu Simbel in a day. The tour will typically depart from Aswan in the morning and return in the evening.
Early in the morning, you will be met by our tour guide at your accommodation and taken in a private vehicle.
Your vehicle will join the convoy and will be driven south for about 3 hours.
Upon arrival, you will be learned about the magnificent temple, which is known for its four colossal statues of Ramesses II that stand at the entrance to the temple. The statues are each about 20 meters (66 feet) tall, and they are carved directly from the rock cliff. The temple is also decorated with beautiful reliefs and hieroglyphs that depict the life and achievements of Ramesses II.
Drive back with the same vehicle back to your accommodation.
