What To Expect
Abu Simbel Temple Complex
At 8:00 am expert Tour guide 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
This article is about the Egyptian queen and wife of Ramesses II. For other persons by this name, see Nefertari (disambiguation). Nefertari Nefertari, also known as Nefertari Meritmut, was an Egyptian queen and the first of the Great Royal Wives (or principal wives) of Ramesses the Great.[1] Nefertari means 'beautiful companion' and Meritmut means 'Beloved of [the goddess] Mut'. She is one of the best known Egyptian queens, among such women as Cleopatra, Nefertiti, and Hatshepsut, and one of the most prominent not known or thought to have reigned in her own right. She was highly educated and able to both read and write hieroglyphs, a very rare skill at the time. She used these skills in her diplomatic work, corresponding with other prominent royals of the time. Her lavishly decorated tomb, QV66, is one of the largest and most spectacular in the Valley of the Queens. Ramesses also constructed a temple for her at Abu Simbel next to his colossal monument there.

5.00Superb excursion with Emo tour to Abu Simbel. Good communication, punctual team, new car, careful driver. An expert guide in Egyptology to accompany us and give us all the information about our visit. As for the Abu Simbel site it is a wonder both externally and internally that deserves to be ranked 8th wonder of the world!

5.00We only took the excursion with Chauffeur. Very good experience with these drivers. They explained that there must be two of them according to the legislation. The journey went very well. A break was made halfway (even if there were many flies). They even stopped to show us the sunrise in the desert. We had 2 hours at Abu Simbel Temple, which was more than enough for us. We took our seats for the entrance to the temple on the official website (43€ for 2 adults and 2 children). The drivers were waiting for us outside. A driver was super interesting bringing us a lot of information about the country. We left Aswan at 6am which made us arrive at the temple around 9:30am. Ideal because the majority of tourists had left, so we had the temple almost to ourselves. We arrived on Aswan around 2:30 pm. We recommend this tour without hesitation.

5.00We had an amazing tour to Abu Simbel. After a 4am start, we slept for a couple of hours in the car before our guide suggested stopping to see the sunrise over the desert. This was absolutely amazing and unexpected. After this, our guide gave an amazing and detailed history of the temples at Abu Simbel, putting them into context and showing us the important art and history behind them. This meant that once we got to Abu Simbel, we already knew what to look for and didn’t waste time in the (hot!) sun. Our guide was very accommodating and allowed us to explore at our own pace. On the way back he also got us some brilliant falafel and some fruit which was a welcome snack after a very early start. We were back in Aswan for about 2:15pm. The guide’s English was flawless and he gave detailed and interesting responses to our questions. Strongly recommend this tour, amazing guide.
