Day Tour to Abu Simbel from Aswan

Early morning pickup from your hotel or cruise ship in Aswan by an
air-conditioned vehicle that will take you to Abu Simbel (approx. 3
hours). Once in Abu Simbel you will enjoy a guided tour of Ramses II
Temple and the Temple of Queen Nefertari. Both are definitely a must-see
for Egypt travelers. Ramses II Temple was carved out of the mountains
and was rediscovered in 1813. With a height of more than 20 meters, the
four famous statues of Ramses II overlook the Nile at the entrance of
the temple. Inside, in the sacred sanctuary, another four statues of
gods sitting on their thrones are carved out the back wall. Twice a year
these statues are illuminated by the first rays of the rising sun. The
temple of Ramses’ wife Queen Nefertari (also known as the Temple of
Hathor) is also carved out of the mountain and is a smaller version of
the Ramses II Temple.

After visiting the temples you will be transferred back to your hotel in
Aswan by an air-conditioned vehicle.
