Upon your unforgettable trip to Abu Simbel from Aswan, you will be picked up by your licensed Egyptologist guide from your hotel in Aswan early in the morning in a private air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a smooth drive to the south over the marvelous landscape of the Egyptian desert.
The temples of Abu Simbel are the greatest masterpieces of ancient Egypt and express the grandeur of Ramses II during the New Kingdom era.UNESCO, along with the Egyptian government, launched one of the most amazing preservation campaigns in the history of the world, relocating the ancient monuments after the High Dam was built and the area was scheduled for inundation.
You will be able to visit the Great Temple of Ramses II, which is devoted to the gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II, and then continue to the amazing Temple of Nefertari or the Temple of Hathor. After approximately 3 hours walking around these gigantic statues and marvelous engravings, you will be driven back to Aswan.
