Journey Overview
Enjoy a Group Day Trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for an unforgettable adventure to the stunning Abu Simbel Temples. The engineers who constructed these temples designed the sacred entrance so that the sun’s rays illuminate the faces of the gods inside. This remarkable phenomenon occurs every year in February and October.

Our qualified Egyptologist Guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan by A/C vehicle to enjoy a trip to Abu Simbel. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered masterpieces of ancient Egypt, reflecting the glory and grandeur of the New Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO cooperated to save these temples from floods that threatened over 28 monuments. Hidden behind the chambers, statues and hieroglyphics adorn every wall. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods: Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II himself. The great Abu Simbel Temple is also known as the Sun Temple of Ramses II. The Temple of Queen Nefertari, also called the Temple of Hathor, who was the wife of the Sun God, symbolizes the union of Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God. After enjoying this fabulous trip, you will be transferred back to your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan.

My partner picked this one. I was a little unsure beforehand, but ended up enjoying it. For me the best moments were the small details I would probably have missed on my own. I would have liked a slightly longer pause towards the end, but overall a lovely experience.

تجربة تستاهل الوقت
بعد ما رجعنا وبصينا على الصور، حسينا إن اليوم كان يستحق الوقت اللي خصصناه له. الترتيبات كانت مفهومة، وده خلانا نركز في الاستمتاع بدل القلق طول الوقت. كنت أفضل استراحة أطول شوية في الآخر، لكن إجمالًا رجعنا مبسوطين.

Would leave a little more time
We wanted something different from another day at the hotel. This fitted our plans nicely. I appreciated being able to ask questions without feeling that I was holding everybody up. Next time I would spend less time taking photos and more time simply enjoying being there.

Un buen recuerdo del viaje
Al revisar las fotos de las vacaciones volvimos a hablar de este día con una sonrisa. El ritmo nos permitió mirar con calma en vez de pensar solo en sacar la siguiente foto. Una pausa algo más larga al final habría venido bien, pero la experiencia en conjunto fue buena.

Would leave a little more time
My partner picked this one. I was a little unsure beforehand, but ended up enjoying it. The practical arrangements were easy to follow, which made the day feel much less tiring. Not every moment was perfect, but the overall experience was a good one and I am glad we went.
