Abi Simbel Temples Tour
- The guide will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan by a modern air-conditioned coach to enjoy a small group tour to Abu Simbel. It is about 03 hours and a half, one way to drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel.
- Reach the two Temples of Abu Simbel, which 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 Ramsses II was dedicated to the four universal gods Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and to Ramsses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also called The Sun Temple of Ramesses II.
- The Temple of Queen Nefertari is also Called the Temple of Hathor, who was the wife of the Sun God, so in a symbolic way, the two Temples, that of Ramsses II and that of Nefertari bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor and the Sun God together as one.
- Later on, you will be escorted back from Abu Simbel to your hotel in Aswan.
