Overview

Travel from Aswan to Abu Simbel in a private, modern air‑conditioned vehicle with a professional driver who will pick you up from any hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan, the airport or the railway station. As this is a private trip, departure arrangements will be made to suit you and the return will be to your hotel in Aswan. On arrival an Egyptologist tour guide will meet you and explain the history of the two temples at Abu Simbel, regarded as masterpieces of ancient Egypt and symbols of the New Kingdom’s grandeur. You will see the great Temple of Ramesses II, dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re‑Her‑Akhtey, Amun‑Re and to Ramesses II himself. The smaller temple, often called the Temple of Hathor, honours Queen Nefertari and symbolically links her to Hathor, the wife of the Sun God. As you move through the sites, the guide will give historical context and point out the architectural and sculptural features that make these monuments unique.
