Itinerary:
Embark on an amazing journey to the southern edge of Egypt, where the wonderful Temples of Abu Simbel stand proudly along the beautiful shores of Lake Nasser. These temples were constructed by the powerful Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BCE. These temples are a great timeless testament to the power, devotion, and artistry of ancient Egypt.
Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Aswan. We will transfer you by a private and comfortable car across the golden desert sands, witnessing the charming beauty of Egypt’s Nubian landscape. Upon arrival, you will see the Great Temple of Ramses II, with its four amazing colossal statues of the pharaoh himself guarding the entrance. Step inside to admire intricately carved and beautiful halls and vibrant wall reliefs that depict epic battles and divine worship.
Next, explore the famous Temple of Queen Nefertari, dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of true love and beauty. The temple’s elegant façade and delicate carvings are among the finest and most impressive examples of ancient Egyptian artistry.
One of the most remarkable facts about the ancient Abu Simbel is its modern history: both temples were relocated in the 1960s to save them from the strong rising waters of Lake Nasser, which is a monumental UNESCO-led project showcasing global cooperation and heritage preservation.
After your visit, relax and enjoy the smooth and comfortable drive back to Aswan, reflecting on the timeless beauty and ingenuity of Egypt’s ancient civilisation.
