Exploring the ancient wonders of Aswan and Abu Simbel during my three days in Hurghada was a captivating experience. The accommodations were comfortable and well-placed, but the transportation could have been more organized at times, which slowed things down a bit.

I had an incredible time immersing myself in the wonders of Aswan and Abu Simbel, especially during the overnight stay near the temples where I could soak in the tranquility of the surroundings. The only hiccup was the occasional delay in transportation, but the breathtaking sights made every moment worthwhile on this journey through Egypt’s ancient history.

We embarked on an unforgettable journey through Egypt’s ancient wonders, visiting Aswan and Abu Simbel while based in Hurghada. Each day unfolded with breathtaking sights and rich history, but the highlight had to be the majestic temples of Simbel; standing before them truly felt like stepping back in time. We appreciated the local cuisine, especially the fresh falafel and aromatic shawarma that fueled our adventures. However, the long travel times between locations occasionally felt a bit exhausting, and we would have liked more downtime to soak in the surroundings. Overall, we left with an incredible sense of having explored the depths of Egypt’s heritage.
