Aswan and Abu Simbel from Cairo in Two Days Tours

Day 1: Fly from Cairo to Aswan and see the sights of Aswan.

We will collect you from your Cairo hotel early in the morning in a private air-conditioned vehicle and transport you to Cairo airport for your trip to Aswan. Upon arrival in Aswan, meet your tour guide and begin your adventure by viewing Aswan tourist spots such as:

The High Dam: It was erected between 1960 and 1970 in Aswan, Egypt, over the Nile River. It has had a profound impact on Egypt’s economy and culture.

The Unfinished Obelisk: Ancient Egypt’s biggest obelisk. Queen Hatshepsut commissioned this to accompany the Lateran Obelisk, which was originally located at Karnak Temple before it was transported to Rome’s Lateran Palace.

Temple of Philae: The goddess Isis of Love and Beauty is honored in the Philae Temple. Before the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970, the temple complex was demolished and transported to adjacent Agilkia Island as part of the UNESCO Nubia Campaign mission to safeguard it and other sites.

Enjoy your beautiful meal at the conclusion of the day, then move to a 5* hotel in Aswan for the night.

Day 2: Tour of the Stunning Abu Simbel Temple—Return to Cairo

Check out of the hotel and get your breakfast boxes early in the morning, after which we will drive you to Abu Simbel in a private A/C vehicle with your private tour guide to continue your journey.

Temples of Abu Simbel: People regard the two temples of Abu Simbel as marvels of ancient Egypt because of their distinctive design. They are a reflection of Egypt’s new Kingdom’s splendor and magnificence.

Abu Simbel is home to two huge rock temples. Pharaoh Ramses II had the twin temples cut out of the hillside in the 13th century BC as a permanent memorial to himself and his wife Nefertari, celebrating their victory in the Battle of Kadesh.

Transfer back to Aswan for lunch before catching your flight back to Cairo and then returning to your hotel. Feel free to share any ideas you have about including or removing trips from your tour schedule to suit your needs.
