Itinerary
Abu Simbel Temple
Admission not included600 min
As per requested time will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan.

That the company you work...
That the company you work with only gave us 30 minutes to visit the site. We left at four am and no traffic issues and returned to the hotel in 9 hours. But the tour was stated as 10 hours. That would given us well over an hour’s time to visit. But. They were in control.

We hope you enjoyed yourselves on the next trip; you will have plenty of time.

Hidden gem
This island It's a hidden gem! 4 temples from different historic times, beautiful paintings from Ramses the Great era and the silence!!! If you look for something unique far from crowds - go there is your place. As a bonus boat ride on Nasser lake, magnificent views . Pity all agencies offer unfinished obelisk instead.
