Tour Description

Our qualified Egyptologist Guide will pick you up from your hotel or Nile Cruise in Aswan by private A/C vehicle for your trip to Abu Simbel. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered masterpieces of ancient Egypt, reflecting the glory and grandeur of the New Kingdom.

The Egyptian government and UNESCO collaborated to save these temples from floods that threatened over 28 monuments. Hidden behind the chambers, statues and hieroglyphics adorn every wall. The Temple of Ramses II is dedicated to the four universal gods: Ptah, Re-Her-Akhtey, Amun-Re, and Ramses II himself. The great Abu Simbel temple is also known as the Sun Temple of Ramses II.
