Tour Itinerary

Abu Simbel Trip itinerary

In the morning, we will pick you up from your Cairo hotel and take you to Cairo airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, meet your private guide, who will take you in a modern A.C. car to visit Abu Simbel temples. This private tour offers a personalized visit to Abu Simbel in the shortest time.

Abu Simbel Temples

The two temples of Abu Simbel, each with its distinctive design, are often regarded as ancient Egypt’s finest architectural achievements. Workers carved both temples out of the surrounding rock around 1200 B.C. during King Ramses II’s reign. The first temple honors King Ramses II, while the second temple honors his cherished wife, Queen Nefertari. Both temples include magnificent carvings and works of art that embellish their interiors. Temples are incredible places to visit since they often include works of art such as hand-carved pillars, paintings on the walls, sculptures, and carvings.

At this point, your day excursion to Abu Simbel from Cairo by plane will end. You will then return to Aswan for lunch and have time to explore the city before flying back to Cairo, where we will transfer you to your hotel.
