Day Trip from Aswan to Abu Simbel By Flight

Explore the beautiful temples of King Ramses II and his wife through this Abu Simbel Day Trip From Aswan By Flight.

 

Take a flight from Aswan to discover one of the most fascinating temples of Egypt at Abu Simbel. It was built by King Ramses II In Nubia. The temple is situated 280 km southwest of Aswan 40 km north of Sudan. the temple is unique because of the special facade of three huge statues of the king, each 25 meters high. The facade itself is 35 meters in height and 35 meters wide.

Temple of Queen Nefertari by flight from Aswan.

King Ramses built seven temples in Nubia, each dedicated to Egypt’s main gods, with himself as the central figure. This theme is particularly evident at the Abu Simbel temple, where the four colossal statues of Ramses on the facade symbolize the gods Ra-Hor-Akhti, Ptah of Memphis, Amun-Ra of Luxor, and Ramses II himself. While the exterior presents all four gods in the likeness of Ramses, the interior sanctuary features their distinct forms, illustrating Ramses’s message that he embodies the essence of these four primary deities. A trip to see the temple of Abu Simbel.

Amazing tour to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur

January 1, 2025

This week we had a great tour with Mohamed to the pyramids of Sakkara and Dahshur as well as Memphis. He tailored the tour to our preferences, took a lot of time with us and gave us detailed background information on everything. It was also great that he never tired of taking the time to answer our many questions.

You can definitely tell that he has studied Egyptology as he has a very deep understanding of the subject and can explain everything well. He also speaks perfect English and is really good driver.

We would definitely book a tour with him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. 🙂

Amazing Egypt Fun Tours

December 22, 2024

Highly Recommend Egypt Fun Tours!

Several weeks ago, I reached out to Egypt Fun Tours regarding a 9-hour layover in Cairo. From the very beginning, Hani Ahmed was responsive and professional, quickly providing a well-organized itinerary tailored to our limited time. The itinerary included a visit to the pyramids, other historical sites, a delicious dinner, and even a quick stop for souvenir shopping.

Upon arrival, Gilman efficiently assisted us in obtaining our day tourist visas (note: $25 per person in cash). She then introduced us to our guide, Mydo, who was absolutely phenomenal! Mydo’s knowledge, friendly demeanor, and ability to adjust the tour to our pace made the experience unforgettable.

We returned to the airport with plenty of time to relax before our flight. The entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and incredibly memorable. Egypt Fun Tours offers reasonable prices for a private, customized experience that truly exceeds expectations. Thank you, Egypt Fun Tours! We will definitely use your services again in the future.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!
