Private Day Tour to Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan - Private Tour
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
This private day tour from Aswan takes you to the ancient marvel of Abu Simbel. You will travel south in a private, air‑conditioned vehicle while your personal guide shares tales of the 3,400‑year‑old complex, a masterwork of ancient Egyptian engineering set beside Lake Nasser. At Abu Simbel you will encounter the two temples whose distinctive style is regarded as one of the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. The great temple dedicated to Ramesses II honours the four universal gods Ptah, Re‑Her‑Akhtey, Amun‑Re and Ramesses II himself; it is also known as the Sun Temple of Ramesses II. Nearby stands the Temple of Queen Nefertari, often called the Temple of Hathor, linked to Hathor as the wife of the Sun God. As you move through the site, your guide will place these monuments in context and explain how the two temples symbolically bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together. You will then head back to Aswan and return to your hotel.
