Trip To Abu Simbel By Coach 9 hours

  • Shared tour
  • Family friendly

Enjoy Abu Simbel Day Trip by a modern A/C coach early in the morning to visit the two rock-carved temples at Abu Simbel. These temples are unique both in style and in their setting on the banks of Lake Nasser.

Your tour leader will pick you up from your hotel in Aswan by a modern air-conditioned coach to enjoy a small group tour to Abu Simbel. It is about 3 and a half hours, a one-way drive from Aswan to Abu Simbel. The two Temples of Abu Simbel, with their unique style, are considered to be the masterpieces of ancient Egypt. They reflect the glory and grandeur of the new Kingdom. The Egyptian government and UNESCO decided to cooperate to save these temples from the flood. 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, that of Ramsses II, and that of Nefertari, bring Ramesses II, Nefertari, Hathor, and the Sun God together as one. Later on, you will be escorted back from Abu Simbel to your hotel in Aswan.

The tour includes lunch at a local restaurant.
