Amazing Full Day Guided Tour of Abu Simbel from Aswan by Bus

Journey through ancient Egyptian history on this captivating full-day tour from Aswan to Abu Simbel.

Start with a convenient pickup from your hotel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. Travel comfortably through the desert landscape as your Egyptologist guide shares insights into Egypt’s glorious past and the incredible engineering behind the temples.

Upon arrival, marvel at the twin temples of Ramses II and Queen Nefertari, carved directly into the mountainside in the 13th century BC. Learn how these temples honor the gods Ptah, Re-Horakhty, Amun-Re, and the deified Pharaoh Ramses II. Witness the grandeur of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, and hear the fascinating story of its relocation to save it from the rising waters of Lake Nasser.

Twice a year, during the Solar Alignment, sunlight illuminates the inner sanctum of the main temple — a testament to the precision of ancient Egyptian astronomy.

After visiting the smaller yet equally impressive Temple of Nefertari, dedicated to the goddess Hathor, enjoy some free time for photos before returning comfortably to Aswan.
