Experience one of the world's most iconic archaeological sites on this group tour to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Your journey begins with an early morning departure, travelling in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as part of a convoy from Aswan.
The Abu Simbel Temples:
Upon arrival, you'll explore two remarkable temples—the Great Temple of Ramses II and the Temple of Hathor. Both are renowned for their colossal statues and intricate carvings that have captivated visitors for centuries.
A Modern Engineering Marvel:
Learn about the incredible engineering feat that saved these temples in the 1960s. When the High Dam of Aswan was constructed, the entire Abu Simbel complex was carefully relocated block by block to higher ground, preserving this magnificent landmark for future generations.
Historical Significance:
Built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BCE, the larger temple is dedicated to Ramses II himself, while the smaller temple honours his chief wife, Queen Nefertari.
After your guided exploration, you'll return to Aswan with unforgettable memories of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
