Early Morning Hotel Pick-up
Your adventure begins early with a pre-dawn pick-up from your Aswan hotel. The drive to Abu Simbel is long but well worth it, and along the way, your guide will share stories of Ramses II and the monumental efforts made to save the temples from flooding during the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
Arrival at Abu Simbel Temples
Arrive at Abu Simbel, where the massive rock-carved statues of Ramses II greet you as they stand guard over the entrance to his temple. These statues, over 20 meters tall, are awe-inspiring in their scale and craftsmanship. Your guide will walk you through the history of the temple, which was built to commemorate Ramses II’s military victories and his divine status.
Inside the Great Temple of Ramses II
Enter the Great Temple, where you’ll find stunning reliefs and carvings depicting Ramses II in battle and interacting with the gods. Of particular note are the biannual events when the sun illuminates the inner sanctuary, a testament to the precision of ancient Egyptian architecture.
Temple of Nefertari
Next, explore the nearby Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to Ramses’ beloved queen. The beautifully carved statues and reliefs of Nefertari stand alongside her husband, portraying the power and divine status of the queen. This temple is one of the rare instances in Egyptian history where a queen’s temple stands on equal footing with that of her pharaoh.
Free Time for Exploration
After the guided tour, you’ll have some free time to take in the grandeur of Abu Simbel on your own, snap photos, and explore the surrounding area. Don’t miss the views over Lake Nasser—a perfect spot for reflection and photos.
Drive Back to Aswan
After a morning filled with ancient history and colossal monuments, you’ll begin the drive back to Aswan. Relax and enjoy the desert landscapes as you reflect on your visit to one of Egypt’s most remarkable sites.
 Arrival in Aswan
You’ll arrive back in Aswan in the afternoon, tired but satisfied after experiencing the unforgettable Abu Simbel Temples.
