A Must-See Event: The Abu Simbel Sun Festival

The Fixed Dates for the Sun Festival Tours

One of the most magnificent events in February is the Abu Simbel Sun Festival on February 22nd. This is a rare spectacle that only happens twice a year. The temple was precisely built so that on this day, the rising sun’s rays penetrate the inner sanctuary, illuminating the statues of Ramses II and the gods. Witnessing this ancient architectural and astronomical marvel is a truly unforgettable experience.

Very Considerate and Helpful

Guide and driver were on time, open to my requests and took care that I felt safe and saw the Pyramids and parts of old cairo during my less than 24 hour stay between flights. Office staff were great in communicating by email before and during the trip.
