See the magnificent temples of Abu Simbel on a minibus tour
from Aswan. With a qualified Egyptologist as your guide,
you’ll enjoy a personalized visit to Abu Simbel on this
private tour. With its four rock-hewn pharaohs, you'll agree
that the Great Temple is one of the most impressive sites in
Egypt, and the highlight of any trip to Egypt.
On the short walk to the temple entrances, your guide will
explain the history of the site, including details of the
UNESCO-led relocation of the entire cliff face to higher
ground, and how the temples were discovered by accident in
1813. Due to the large number of visitors to Abu Simbel,
guides are not permitted inside either the Great Temple of
Ramses II or the smaller Temple of Hathor. However, by using
photos and illustrations, your guide will explain to you the
structures and their interior artworks. You will then have
free time to enter the temples and explore them at your
leisure.
As one of the few ancient Egyptian sites which largely
escaped damage by past invaders, the interiors of Abu
Simbel's temples are astounding. The scale of the buildings
and their detailed decoration leaves most visitors in awe.
The temples' attraction is further enhanced by their scenic
location on the edge of Lake Nasser in the orange sands of
the desert.
After visiting the temples there may be time for a short
visit to the small visitor's center which documents the
UNESCO relocation project, before returning to the minibus
for the drive back to Aswan. The drive is approximately
three hours each way.
