Abu Simbel Temples
Admission included240 min
Abu Simbel is one of Egypt’s most breathtaking archaeological sites, located near the Sudanese border in southern Egypt. Built by Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC, the complex consists of two grand rock-cut temples — one dedicated to Ramses himself, and the other to his beloved wife, Queen Nefertari. The colossal statues guarding the entrance and the remarkably preserved carvings inside make it a masterpiece of ancient engineering and art.

For a trip to a country where you have no control, it is an ideal partner.
In addition very honest and transparent.
All the family and super happy.

Perfect stay
When I first visited Egypt two years ago, my favorite day was the one organized by Mohmed (and the most professional). This year I came back with my family and it was obvious that I book my cruise and other days with Mohmed.
He is always there to help you find the best for you and answer your questions whether before or during the stay.
Mohmed was able to arrange the program so that we could do everything we wanted following an unforeseen event in the cruise. This unforeseen event meant that we arrived later than expected at the cruise and Mohmed made sure that we all had a meal together at 4 in the restaurant instead of eating separately in our rooms.
It's the best you can find and when we get back to Egypt we'll spend one more time with Happy Pharaoh. Thank you very much for making this trip unique to introduce my family to Egypt. Everyone loved it! ❤️
