Itinerary

Pickup from Aswan or Aswan Airport

Stop 1

At Abu Simbel, travelers will visit the world-famous twin temples built by Pharaoh Ramses II over 3,000 years ago. The larger temple is dedicated to Ramses II himself and features four colossal seated statues of the king, each over 20 meters tall. The smaller temple is dedicated to Queen Nefertari, Ramses' beloved wife.

Visitors can explore the impressive facades and step inside the temples to view detailed wall carvings, hieroglyphs, and scenes of ancient Egyptian rituals, battles, and offerings to the gods. You’ll have time to admire the incredible engineering feat — the entire complex was relocated in the 1960s to avoid flooding by the Nile, making it not only a masterpiece of ancient Egypt but also of modern engineering.

Travelers will enjoy approximately 2 hours at the site to explore at their own pace, take photos, and immerse themselves in Egypt’s rich history.
