Overview

The centuries of history behind the UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples at Abu Simbel come to life when you visit with a guide.

THE PROGRAMME

We will pick you up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Aswan and will take you on a visit to Abu Simbel by a private air-conditioned vehicle.

Its main attraction is the great sun temple of Ramses II and the temple of queen Nefertari.

The two Temples of Abu Simbel with their unique style are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. 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, the one of Ramsses II and the one of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God together as one.

Afterward, you will head back to Aswan and back to your hotel.
