Tour Description

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 would have submerged 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. The Temple of Queen Nefertari, called the Temple of Hathor, symbolizes the connection between Ramses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God. After this fantastic tour, you will be transferred to Abu Simbel Airport for your flight back to Aswan, where our representative will be waiting to meet you and transfer you back to your starting point.
