What To Expect
Abu Simbel Temple Complex
As per requested time will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan and drive to the south of Aswan which is around 3hrs drive to enjoy Abu Simbel day tour from Aswan by air-conditioned vehicle. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to co-operate in order to save these temples from the flood. The Temple of Ramses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramesses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramses II.The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called Temple of Hathor who was the wife of the Sun God so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramesses II and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one. Spend around 3 hours there then take the way back to Aswan.

5.00Everything went well with our guide Mustafa. He is very kind, and even bought us breakfast and bottles of water! She is a very passionate and exciting person, I highly recommend. A little more, he deciphered the hieroglyphics on the walls!

Amazing temples that make up for travel time

5.00The temples of Abu Simbel are amazing. In my opinion, the most impressive along with Karnak. If you have time and curiosity, the 3:30 hs of going and the same time back to visit them is not a problem. We went in a very comfortable car, with a great guide and, although tiring by the distance, the trip was extremely quiet and pleasant. There is very little to see on the way, but the landscape with the road cutting the desert is interesting and you can sleep to rest from the other walks and the fact that you got up early to go. Two tips: (1) Take something to eat and drink on the way, as the only stop option is a horrible coffee shop, with the highest amount of flies per square meter you will encounter in life and poorly educated and angry attendants. (2) There is no good reason in the world to leave at 4:30 in the morning as most people do. We left at 6:00 hs, which makes a difference at this time, and we arrived at the temples when much of the people had already left, which made the visit even better.
Very good experience...

5.00Driver did a very good job. Let us to stay from 2-3 hours in Abu Simbel and then bring us back to Aswan. He stopped once each way to go to the bathroom and help me charging my phone in his car.
