Tour of Temples of Abu Simbel
- Your tour representative will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan by a private air-conditioned vehicle. It is about 03 hours and a half, one way driving from Aswan to Abu Simbel.
- You will enjoy the Abu Simbel area with its main attraction, "the great sun temple of Ramses II", and the temple of queen Nefertari. Both temples were discovered in 1813, and they were almost completely covered with sand. Then both temples were moved in 1960 with the help of the Egyptian government and UNESCO to avoid the rising water of the Nile. Ramses II built the temple mostly to honour himself, as inside, there is a mural depicting his famous victory at the Kadesh battle, where his army defeated his enemies. On the north of Ramses temple, the Nefertari Temple was built by Ramses II for his favourite wife, Queen Nefertari, among other 200 wives and concubines.
- After finishing the visit, you will be escorted back to your hotel in Aswan by your private air-conditioned vehicle.
