Itinerary
Abu Simbel Temple
120 min
As per the requested time, Bastet Travel expert Tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs and half drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan with an 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 the 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.

An Amazing Day!
We had the best day with Magdy,our guide and David, our driver.
Abu Simbel temples of Ramses 2 and Nephatari were amazing and Magdy took the time to explain what we would be seeing inside and how they were moved from their original spot.
After we went to several specialty government owned stores and were given explanations and demonstrations of items they sold- papyrus, essence, spices, cotton/linens.
We had the opportunity to try delicious foods, falafel, koshary and shawarma.
The long day flew by.
We highly recommend this tour and guide!

In the dark of 4 a.m., waiting for an hour with not respond from the agency
There were issues with the service. The tour was scheduled for 4:00 am and they showed up an hour late. We desperately tried to contact someone from the agency without success. They didn't apologize when they came to collect us, pretending not to understand or speak English, but they actually did. Standing there in the dark wondering if they would come, we were very stressed, We received an insufficient amount of service for the price we paid. I was not satisfied with it at all.

The perfect day
Everything was perfect. Our guide Mahmoud made sure that our experience was nothing less than great. We loved it and recommended it 100%. We started later than usual, since we had no plane to catch, and we had the place almost for ourselves.

Abdol was the highlight of the tour
Our guide Abdol was knowledgeable and charming. His storytelling brought the Abu Simbel temples to life, and he made sure we didn’t miss any details. Truly unforgettable.

A unique adventure in Abu Simbel
The trip to Abu Simbel was just amazing! With a modern and comfortable air-conditioned bus, we reached the magnificent temples carved in the rocks. The Mervat guide was excellent. He passionately explained the rich history of ancient Egypt and made the experience even more memorable. An experience that will remain engraved in our memory forever!

The wonderful experience of Abu Simbel day trip
What an unforgettable adventure this trip was! We rode in comfortable air-conditioned buses through the beautiful landscape to Abu Simbel's rock-carved temple. The guide, Mr. Hany, was very professional and he told us many interesting stories about Egyptian history and culture in fluent Chinese. These temples are particularly spectacular on the shores of Lake Nasser and the whole experience is highly recommended!

An Early Morning Journey to Abu Simbel
The trip to Abu Simbel was an incredible experience! The drive was long but comfortable, and once we arrived, the temples were beyond breathtaking. Carved into the rock and overlooking Lake Nasser, it felt like stepping back into ancient Egypt.

An Incredible Visit to Abu Simbel's Rock Temples
This day trip to Abu Simbel was truly incredible .
We started early in the morning , leaving Aswan in a modern air-conditioned coach .
The drive was about three and a half hours , but the comfort of the coach made it pleasant .
When we arrived , the sight of the rock-carved temples took our breath away .
The temples are massive and beautifully carved , sitting by the peaceful waters of Lake Nasser .
Our guide gave us a detailed history of the temples , explaining their importance and the efforts taken to relocate them .
We spent a few hours exploring the temples and taking in their beauty .
The drive back to Aswan was relaxing , giving us time to reflect on the amazing sights we had seen .
A big thank you to our guide for making this trip so special

Exploring the Majestic Temples of Abu Simbel
This day trip to Abu Simbel was one of the highlights of our visit to Egypt .
We departed from Aswan early in the morning , traveling in a comfortable air-conditioned coach .
The three-and-a-half-hour journey was smooth , and we enjoyed the views of the desert landscape .
Arriving at Abu Simbel , we were blown away by the sheer size of the two temples carved into the rock .
The temples are not only impressive in size but also in their detailed carvings and historical significance .
Our guide shared many interesting stories about the temples and their relocation to save them from the rising waters of Lake Nasser .
After a few hours of exploring , we headed back to Aswan .
This trip was well worth the early start , and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt .
Thanks to our knowledgeable guide for an exceptional experience
